Statically linking in VS outputs dynamically linked version anyway

[thomasvt]

I'm trying to build my game statically linked with raylib.

I tried

• the precompiled package x64 msvc from https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/releases
• the vcpkg install raylib:x64-windows-static option

In both cases i got it to build in VS, configuring Project settings for the Include and Library Directories and added "raylib.lib" to my Additional Dependencies.

Yet still, building keeps on adding the raylib.dll to the build output and the .exe clearly needs it, so it's not statically linking.

Any idea what else i can try?

Thanks

Ok. found it.

I thought the build only knew of the directories i configured pointing to the .lib and .h file i want to use, but apparently it ignores that and uses vcpkg behind my back to pick the dynamic version. You can configure vcpkg in project properties > vcpkg and set Use Static Libraries there.

btw, after that i got a linker error about unresolved externals _timeBeginPeriod and _timeEndPeriod --> i had to add 'winmm.lib' to project settings > Linker > Addition Dependencies

It builds now.
