Why do you need to specify foo.lib before the standard Win32 libraries? Unless this is an attempt to reimplement Microsoft's standard libraries with your own code I don't see what placing foo.lib before all of the standard win32 libraries would buy you. Here's an idea for you though if you really need to do this. You could probably globally modify your project defaults and remove the libraries you don't want from the defaults and add them back in later via TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/ Please note that this would break linking of any projects you're developing on the machine unless they declared an explicit dependency on system32.lib, user32.lib, etc. I've never actually tried this before but I've added libraries as per the webpage to make VS Express work better out of the box with the Platform SDK. -- Philip Lowman Simulation Development Engineer, Modeling and Simulation Technology General Dynamics Land Systems http://www.gdls.com _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
