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.

Note that it can also be caused by CUDA libraries and any other GPU libraries to demand high-performance GPU from the OS -- examples are `AmdPowerXpressRequestHighPerformance`, `NvOptimusEnablement` `NvOptimusEnablementCuda`. — Igor Levicki, Jan 31 '23 at 12:34

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

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)

I have that. The exp/lib are output files. (makes good sense for dlls) – Macke May 04 '09 at 12:38
