From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> To build with MSVC, we "translate" GCC options to MSVC options, and part of those options refer to the libraries to link into the final executable. Currently, this part looks somewhat like this on Windows: -lcurl -lnghttp2 -lidn2 -lssl -lcrypto -lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32 -lcrypt32 -lwldap32 -lz -lws2_32 -lexpat Some of those are direct dependencies (such as curl and ssl) and others are indirect (nghttp2 and idn2, for example, are dependencies of curl, but need to be linked in for reasons). We already handle the direct dependencies, e.g. `-liconv` is already handled as adding `libiconv.lib` to the list of libraries to link against. Let's just ignore the remaining `-l*` options so that MSVC does not have to warn us that it ignored e.g. the `/lnghttp2` option. We do that by extending the clause that already "eats" the `-R*` options to also eat the `-l*` options.
