VS2010 static linking issue?

You are pretty lost in that dialog if you are tinkering with Framework and References, those are settings that only apply to managed code. The term "reference" only applies to . NET assemblies.

The linker doesn't support storing compiled managed code in a .lib. I'll work from the assumption that you actually are changing linker settings. If you make a change in library D then you also have to change its header file.

Which in itself will be enough to get B and C rebuilt since one or more of their source code files should #include that header.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
