title: Upgrading VS2017 15.2 to 15.3 broke third party libraries
body: <p>I recently updated my Visual Studio version to the latest (mostly because of an automatic update rather than me willingly doing so). This proceeded to break my compiler when linking in third party libraries that were built using 15.2 instead of the current version of 15.3. The error I'm seeing is:</p>
  
  <p>"Library_Name_here.lib" was created with an older compiler than other objects; rebuild old objects and libraries</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for either ideas for solutions to avoid a re-compile of these libraries, but if one does not exist, I am looking for a way to compile the libraries to be version agnostic to not have to keep recompiling every time that vs updates.</p>
