Static Library created in VS2010 not linkeable in CVI

Question

I created a simple static Ansi-C90 library with VS2010. I was able to create a C++ project in VS2010, import and fully test the lib.

I opened a LabWindows CVI project and tried to import the lib file there.

Unfortunatelly there is not much to go on - the only message i get is: "Bad header encountered while reading external module: 'Release\mylib.obj'"

Is there some way how i can investigate whats wrong with my lib file? Is there some standard format that VS2010 is not following?

EDIT #1:

I identified a possible source of the problem but i am currently unable to check that. VS2010 does not compiling as static-single-thread-libraries - that feature was removed. It is possible that CVI can not handle static-multi-thread-libraries.

I also posted this question on the NI Forum.

EDIT #2:

NI Forum link was broken - i assume its NIs fault and provide a Google Search Link for the posting.

User Mohan in the NI Forums posted the answer there.

One option in visual studio needs to be changed so CVI can import the file:

Properties -> General -> Whole Program Optimization

Default is: "Use Link Time Code Generation"

Has to be changed to: "No Whole Program Optimization"
