[Bug] The linkage type generated during the dependencies compilation mismatches the project one

[Jeanmilost]

In one of my Visual Studio project, I'm compiling a static DLL, as you can see on the below project option:

However, when Conan compile my dependencies, it generates this configuration file:

[settings]
arch=x86_64
build_type=Debug
compiler=msvc
compiler.cppstd=20
compiler.runtime=dynamic    <== !!! This is not matching my project options !!!

compiler.runtime_type=Debug
compiler.version=193
os=Windows

As the Conan config file mismatches the one in my project option, I get this error during the linking time:

Error LNK2038 mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MDd_DynamicDebug' doesn't match value 'MTd_StaticDebug' in MyRPCClient.obj MyShellExt C:\Projets\branches\vs2022_dev\MyShellExt\libboost_thread.lib(thread.obj) 1

On the other hand, if I manually correct my config file as below:

[settings]
arch=x86_64
build_type=Debug
compiler=msvc
compiler.cppstd=20
compiler.runtime=static

compiler.runtime_type=Debug
compiler.version=193
os=Windows

the project compiles and links as expected.

Can you please fix that?

Hi @Jeanmilost

Thanks for reporting.

I am submitting a potential fix in https://github.com/conan-io/conan-vs-extension/pull/235. It is the first time I contribute to the extension, I don't know enough about it, but looks doable.

@memsharded Thank you very much :-)
