How to fix or get rid of LNK4204?

Question

I statically bind SFML2.3to my application. When you communicate in debug mode, I get a huge wall of warnings, and they are all like this:

1>sfml-graphics-s-d.lib(View.obj) : warning LNK4204: 'D:\DATA\Libraries\Programming\SFML Projects\SimpleAdventure\Debug\vc120.pdb' is missing debugging information for referencing module; linking object as if no debug info

But for different objects in different SFML modules.

I compiled SFML, in the folder lib/debugthere is pdb for each of lib. I also tried to copy them to the project exit path, but the result is the same. I can not find information on how to process it correctly. I do not want to compile my project without debugging information, as suggested somewhere, but I do not need these libraries.

Disabling an alert using /ignore:4204does not work either due to the fact that for some reason not ignored alerts are for any reason.

Any insight would be appreciated!

EDIT I ​​ended up recompiling all the libraries marked with warnings with Z7 how to embed debugging information in the libraries themselves. This eliminated all warnings. But I still don't understand why individual pdb was a problem all of a sudden.

Answer 1

In the end, I recompiled all the libraries marked with warnings with Z7 (Properties → C / C ++ → Debug Information Format) to embed debug information in the libs themselves. This removed all warnings.
