For an unknown reason, the linking step in my C++ app step takes just a few seconds in debug builds but over a minute in release mode. Does anyone have any idea if it’s likely to be due to my project settings, or the external libs which are being linked in? Is it a common problem?
You have incremental linking activated for debug builds and not for release builds. That is what is most probable. In the project settings you can have a look at Linker -> Command Line.
/INCREMENTAL*.ilk file is generated to speed-up linking/INCREMENTAL:NOinactiveHow to change the setting: Linker -> General -> Enable Incremental Linking
