Building apps and libraries (C++/CX)

The topics in this section provide a few details about using the build system to produce a Universal Windows Platform app or Windows Runtime component.

In this section

• Compiler and Linker options

• Static libraries

• DLLs

Note

Visual Studio does not support profile guided optimizations for Universal Windows Platform. If you attempt to build a project with these options set in the IDE, a build error will result. Console applications are also not supported.
