title: VS 2010: LNK1104 - cannot create import library
body: <p>After porting a medium sized C/C++ application with a few libraries to VS 2010, I am getting the following error (Configuration: Debug, Platform: Win32):</p>
  
  <pre><code>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 
  'D:\projects\Libraries\SDL_image-1.2.7\VC10\Debug\Win32\SDL_image.lib'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have quadruple checked SDL_net project settings in VS 2010. The folder name is correct, there are no folders containing blanks anywhere in the entire solution, etc. The DLL's object files are all in that folder (as they should be). Yet the import library cannot be created. This stuff works fine in VS 2008.</p>
  
  <p>There are other similarly setup libraries in the solution (like SDL_mixer, SDL_net) and I don't have this problem with them.</p>
  
  <p>How can I possibly fix this?</p>
