How do I disable exp/lib generation when building an exe?

Question

I realize this is probably caused by some _dllexport() somewhere, not in my code but in some third-party piece. (Qt, Boost, OpenSG, ...)

Is there a simple linker option to disable this? I've searched but not found anywhere.

Answer 1

I suggest you make sure that you have different folders for intermediate files and output files.

I use to setup the projects this way (project properties/general configuration page):

Output Directory = $(SolutionDir)\Build\$(ConfigurationName)
Intermediate Directory = $(SolutionDir)\Build\$(ConfigurationName)\$(ProjectName)

Answer 2

AFAIK, no, because the relevant #pragma's override the linker settings.
