I have the following command line for building a TEST.DLL, but the implicit .lib
is not being created. Why?

/OUT:"lib/TESTd.dll" /NOLOGO /DLL /DEBUG /PDB:"lib/TESTd.pdb" /OPT:NOREF
/IMPLIB:"lib/TESTd.lib" kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib
comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib
odbccp32.lib

Have you got anything exported?

Yes, there are exports defined through the entire program.

The program will generate an import library if I change the /MTd option to /MDd.
However, the program with which I am linking into has been compiled with /MTd
(which due to requirements, cannot change).

Seems odd!

Can you reproduce this with a trivial example project?
