[C++] VIX API - Debug static building on MSVC

sc6ut — Sat, 08 Jan 2022 13:29:56 GMT

Hi, trying to build some project using C++ and VIX API on Windows.

As it is told in API reference I'm using '/MTd /NODEFAULTLIB:libcmtd.lib' flags, but anyway I get errors on build. By the way, the release build is working great. There is my CMake project code:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15 FATAL_ERROR)
project(virtualmachine LANGUAGES CXX)

# Static file linking
set(CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY "MultiThreadedDebug")
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} /NODEFAULTLIB:libcmtd.lib")

set(VIX_API_BIN "C:/Program Files (x86)/VMware/VMware VIX")

# Check that VIX API is installed
if (NOT EXISTS ${VIX_API_BIN})
	message(FATAL_ERROR "VMware VIX API is not installed.")
endif ()

# Include VIX API
include_directories(${VIX_API_BIN})

add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME}
	main.cpp
	virtual_machine.h
	virtual_machine_exception.h
	vmware_virtual_machine.cpp
	vmware_virtual_machine.h
)

set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES
	CXX_STANDARD 17
	CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED YES
	CXX_EXTENSIONS NO
)

# Link additional libraries
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE 
	"${VIX_API_BIN}/Vix64AllProductsd.lib" # VIX API
	ws2_32 # WinSock2
)

May be someone tried to link it with C++ code and know what may be a problem? There are the build errors:
