warning LNK4099: PDB 'utils.pdb' was not found
-
What could be the cause where a pdb files is not generated ? It is a warning generated by a VS2008 compiler used in command line mode ... Why others .pdb files is generated and this one (utils.pdb) are not ?
warning LNK4099: PDB 'utils.pdb' was not found with '.\..\..\retail\some.lib' or at 'D:\.....\retail\utils.pdb'; linking object as if no debug info
How can I understand this message ?

You should look at your project settings, and build logs. You appear to have a somewhat complex directory setup and it is possible the PDB file could not be written for some reason.

The warning from above I had taken from build logs, but I don't know where I could find the project settings, I use compiler in command line mode ... I don't have any GUI for this environment ... hmm ..
Sorry, but we have no idea what your setup looks like so it is impossible to guess how things have been set up. If you use the Visual Studio IDE then project settings will be in a file called <project_name>.vcxproj or some similar extension. You need to provide some more details of how your project is setup and what commands you run to build it. See also: Linker Tools Warning LNK4099 | Microsoft Docs[^].
