We need to surpress generation of debug symbols. The options availble under project properties/ configuration properties / c/c++ / general / debug information format, are equivalent to /Z7, /Zi and /ZI – I can’t find a way to omit the /Zx flag entirely.

Unlike the situation here – we’re building from the IDE.

I’m using visual studio 2010, and the project at hand is a static library.

EDIT:
Here’s the view from my installation of VS2012. Is this some installation issue?? Are your Debug-Information-Format options different?

    You can remove it manually:

    Step 1. Compiler.

    • Selected "Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General > Debug Information Format"
    • Hit DEL

    Step 2. Linker.

    Also you need to disable generating Debug info for Linker

    • Selected "Configuration Properties > Linker > Debugging> Generate Debug Info" set to No

    enter image description here

    Step 3. Profiler.

    • Also set "Profile" to "No" in Linker > Advanced or you may still see PDB files generated!
