/DEFAULTLIB (Specify Default Library)
Specify a default library to search to resolve external references.
/DEFAULTLIB:library
library
The name of a library to search when resolving external references.
The /DEFAULTLIB option adds one library to the list of libraries that LINK searches when resolving references. A library specified with /DEFAULTLIB is searched after libraries specified explicitly on the command line and before default libraries named in .obj files.
When used without arguments, the /NODEFAULTLIB (Ignore All Default Libraries) option overrides all /DEFAULTLIB:library options. The /NODEFAULTLIB:library option overrides /DEFAULTLIB:library when the same library name is specified in both.
Open the project Property Pages dialog box. For more information, see Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio.
Select the Configuration Properties > Linker > Command Line property page.
In Additional Options, enter a /DEFAULTLIB:library option for each library to search. Choose OK to save your changes.
