LNK1104 Cryptopp.lib with CRYPTOPP_DEFAULT_NO_DLL

问题:

I'm using Visual Studio 2013, with the 2012 toolset and I'm trying to split an win32 executable project up into an exe that consumes a dll that contains all the program logic. The end goal is to be able to create a seperate project for unit tests that can link against the new dll.

Now the old version of the project compiles absolutely fine and uses cryptlib.lib (thanks SVN!), but once I separated it out in to a dll with the program logic and the same project settings I get the following error when I attempt to build the dll:

Error 546 error LNK1104: cannot open file 'cryptopp.lib'

I have the directory that contains cryptlib.lib in my linker settings and I'm linking against it just as I did in the previous project settings. Based on the documentation it shouldn't be trying to link against cryptopp.lib because CRYPTOPP_DEFAULT_NO_DLL is defined in the preprocessor settings.

I also tried adding the directory that contains cryptopp.lib to the VC++ directory paths and I added cryptopp.lib to my linker settings, and it still gives me the same error. I don't want to use the dll version of cryptopp, but at this point I just need the thing to work.

All the projects are using the 2012 toolsets, and all are being compiled as win32 projects so I'm not sure where to go from here.

Well I figured out what was happening, if not why. For some reason the preprocessor definitions don't seem to be getting applied. If I put CRYPTOPP_DEFAULT_NO_DLL at the top of all the include files it works as expected.
