Is there a way to make Visual Studio ignore a specific vcpkg library?

I have a VS solution that contains two projects: A.dll and B.lib. A.dll depends on B.lib and also C.lib which is provided by my vcpkg repository.

The problem is that my vcpkg repository also contains a version of B.lib and the linker will include both the vcpkg B.lib and my local B.lib which leads to multiple defined symbols.

Since I need vcpkg to provide the C.lib dependency, I can't disable it for the project completely. I need the linker to ignore the vcpkg version of B.lib.

Is the version of B.lib different from the B.lib in A.dll? I suggest that you could try `#pragma comment(linker,"/nodefaultlib:aaa.lib")`. – Barrnet Chou Jan 29 '21 at 05:56
This didn't appear to work for me. Does anybody know if this is possible, short of removing a library from VCPKG? – Luther Jul 27 '21 at 20:13
Just rename your lib name of B.lib! – halong Oct 12 '21 at 02:59
