My application uses precompiled headers and I am trying to use a static library which does not use precompiled headers.
The problem is that I am getting a bunch of warning: when attempting to rebuild my application:
#include "some_library_hdr.h"': skipped when looking for precompiled header use
Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header
When building my static library, I was unable to build it if the 'precompiled header' option was specified so I just unchecked it.
Can someone tell me what options are available for solving this problem?
Update
As suggested by Hans Passant, I turned off the application's precompiled header option but noticed that time to rebuild took about twice as long as before.
This is my first time creating a static library for inclusion into an application. What I had done previously was to copy the source files into a project but this time I had decided to keep all of that redundant code in a single location (the static lib).
1) Must static libraries be created with precompiled headers turned off?
2) If I use a static library in my application, I must turn off its precompiled headers as well?
3) I've never created a shared dll, but if I do that, can I still benefit from precompiled headers in my application?
Thank you
