Visual Studio 2010 library linking order

Question

How do you specify, in Visual Studio 2010, the order in which library files should be linked?

I have a project that links against libexpat and against another librar

Answer 1

You could create a DLL with the third party library and link it against the static version of expat that it needs and then link your code against the version of expat you need.

However, the fact that it worked before might mean that one library has all the functionality of the other plus some extra. I don't know the details of expat. If that is the case, you need to make sure that you only have the version you want to use in your library search path. A different search directory order in the other version of the compiler could explain the change in behaviour.
