 I don't see anything wrong in your linker settings but I do see something
suspicious: why is there /NODEFAULTLIB? If you really need it (i.e. if you
get warnings or errors after removing it) you must be linking with some
wrong libraries, normally it is unneeded. But other than that I have no
idea, sorry.

 Good luck and please let us know if you find the problem,
