Receiving alot of these messages when compiling which is making compiling a simple program very time consuming.

freeglut_static.lib(freeglut_callbacks.obj) : warning LNK4204: 'z:\CST328\Lab1\block\Release\vc90.pdb' is missing debugging information for referencing module; linking object as if no debug info
1>freeglut_static.lib(freeglut_cursor.obj) : warning LNK4204: 'z:\CST328\Lab1\block\Release\vc90.pdb' is missing debugging information for referencing module; linking object as if no debug info
1>freeglut_static.lib(freeglut_display.obj) : warning LNK4204: 'z:\CST328\Lab1\block\Release\vc90.pdb' is missing debugging information for referencing module; linking object as if no debug info

Is there anyway to prevent this? Would making working on my assignments much more pleasant. 🙂

EDIT:
I Am using Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2008.

    your pdb file is out of sync with the library binary

    in Windows, the pdb holds the debug information for a module. it is linked to a particular build. if your rebuild your library you have to produce a new pdb file. the pdb file your have is out of sync so you either have to delete (or rename) it (find a file freeglut_static.pdb) or recompile the library and produce an up to date pdb file.
