How can I prevent the inclusion of the %(AdditionalDependencies) tag?

[hannes-harnisch]

I wanna reduce the number of Win32 libraries that get linked into my program by default, which is caused by the %(AdditionalDependencies) tag under the linker settings. This tag causes project default libraries to be linked as well, most of which I don't need.

I couldn't find an option to prevent the inclusion of these default libraries (except non-portable flags). Is there a simple way to do this that I missed?

At the moment, there is no provided way to turn that off. Wouldn't be a difficult thing for someone to add a systemLibraries 'off' switch though: copy one of the existing switches in _premake_init.lua, use it in vcxproj.lua and add a test to cover it.
