12.5.16 The /NOD Option

Option

/NOD[[EFAULTLIBRARYSEARCH]][[:libraryname]]

The /NOD option tells LINK not to search default libraries named in object files. Specifying libraryname tells LINK to search all libraries named in the object files except libraryname. If you want LINK to ignore more than one library, specify /NOD once for each library. To tell LINK to ignore all default libraries, specify /NOD without a libraryname.

High-level-language object files usually must be linked with a run-time library to produce an executable file. Therefore, if you use the /NOD option, you must also use the libraries field to specify an alternate library that resolves the external references in the object files.
