Visual Studio LNK1104 with minimal example - c++

Question

I have set up two solutions to illustrate my problem, a total of three projects. I compile in Debug mode but my Problem still exists even if I compile in Release mode.
MyRunnerCore.lib requires 3rdParty.lib. Why is that, what can I do against it?
Here is a Picture to explain how the folders are structured:
The idea is that I build the third party as a lib Project (works fine). Then I build the MyRunnerCore using the lib file in a cpp file only (works fine). Last not Least I Build a Console Application that uses the MyRunnerCore.lib (LNK1104). The output window reads:
1>------ Build started: Project: MyRunnerCore, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1> Core.cpp
1> MyRunnerCore.vcxproj -> C:\SO\MyRunner\Release\MyRunnerCore.lib
2>------ Build started: Project: MyRunner, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
2> main.cpp
2>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '3rdParty.lib'
========== Build: 1 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
Here are the sourcefiles with annotations to point out in what Project I edited some settings.
ThirdPartyClass.cpp
#include "ThirdParyClass.hpp"
int ThirdParyClass::GenerateNumber()
{ return 4; }
ThirdPartyClass.hpp
#pragma once
class ThirdParyClass
{ public: int GenerateNumber(); };
main.cpp
//MyRunner Properties:
//Project Dependencies Added MyRunnerCore
//Include Directories Added $(SolutionDir)
//Library Directories Added $(OutDir)
#include <MyRunnerCore\Core.h>
#pragma comment (lib, "MyRunnerCore.lib")
int main() { Core c{}; return c.Run(); }
Core.cpp
#include "Core.h"
//MyRunnerCore Properties:
//Added To Include Path C:\SO\3rdParty
//Added To Library Path C:\SO\3rdParty\Debug
#include <3rdParty\ThirdParyClass.hpp>
#pragma comment(lib, "3rdParty.lib")
int Core::Run()
{
ThirdParyClass tp{};
return tp.GenerateNumber();
}
Core.h
#pragma once
class Core
{ public: int Run(); };
Why does the Linker require 3rdParty.lib to link?
Am I missing a setting to make the Linker build MyRunnerCore.lib build without references to 3rdParty.lib?

Answer 1

It seems that the linker doesn't know where to find the file ThirdParyClass.lib. In the project settings for MyRunner, add the folder containing this file to Additional Library Directories under Linker.

Answer 2

As tsandy wrote:
Librarian -> General -> Link Library Dependencies -> Yes
is correct. However using the following
#pragma comment (lib, ...)
is incompatible with that.
The library has to be included using
Librarian -> Additional Libraries -> 3rdParty.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)
Thanks to tsandy for the Input.
