I am trying to configure a Debug configuration for projects in a Visual Studio solution I inherited. The solution compiles fine in Release. In debug I get a bunch of LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) ...
The different projects to be compiled into DLLs that are linked to the other projects.
I am reasonably confident that this NOT a problem with my "Additional Library Directories" or "Additional Dependencies" as I have checked this and Release and Debug match...
I have also noticed that if I add __declspec(dllimport) to (some) of the functions that fail to link, the corresponding error disappears.
So my question is:
What option on my debug configuration could be causing linking errors that only occur if I do NOT put __declspec(dllimport) in the routines being linked?
