You probably should not be using CLR with C++ at all, unless for some
reason you absolutely need to interface with .NET. Even if you do need
to work with .NET, you still probably want to be avoiding the CLR when
building MOAB itself. I don't have Visual Studio in front of me at the
moment, so I'm not entirely sure where the options are, but you should
be disabling CLR support.
