Visual Studio: some projects in solution don't generate .exe files

I have a Visual Studio C++ solution with 3 projects: one contains all classes and their definition, and generates .lib file (static library). Other two projects conatin main functions: one for running the application and one for testing (via googletest). They both should generate .exe files, as it's specified in Properties/Configuration Properties/General/Configuration Type, but they both don't actually generate .exe files. Solution builds without errors. What's a problem?

Solution

  • You have to specify the exe in Configuration Properties -> Linker -> General -> Output File.
