How do you specify, in Visual Studio 2010, the order in which library files should be linked?
I have a project that links against libexpat and against another library. This library (not under my control) seems to also include libexpat. The problem is that ‘we’ use a different version of the library (XML_UNICODE vs not). In Visual Studio 2008 things seemed to work out okay (might have been a coincidence), but in Visual Studio 2010 the wrong instance of libexpat is linked. I was thinking that if I could specify the order in which these two libraries should be linked that then I could circumvent the problem.
I have found ‘a’ solution: if you add the libraries through
#pragma comment(lib...the order of linking is the same as the order in which you type those pragma’s. I’m still keeping the question open for a solution when the libraries are added through the project file instead of through pragma statements.
