Visual Studio does not create output directory

I have the following lines in the VCLinkerTool section of my project:

OutputFile="$(OutDir)\bin\engine.dll"

ImportLibrary="$(OutDir)\lib\engine.lib"

ProgramDatabaseFile="$(OutDir)\pdb\engine.pdb"

StripPrivateSymbols="$(OutDir)\pbs\engine.pdb"

The directories "bin", "lib", and "pdb" are automatically created in the $(OutDir) directory, but the "pbs" directory is 开发者_开发问答not.

Any ideas about why this is happening? I have no custom-, pre-, or post-build sections.

Because you are not stripping private symbols from your PDBs.

You need to explicitly set this up in the property pages (Linker -> Debug) if you want pbs versions of your PDB files.
