MSVC: not possible to build code from cmdline as some windows libs are missing #36

Closed greenozon closed 6 months ago

for some (tricky) cases one might need to build hes/her code from the VC++ command line in this case the linker is not happy, eg:

There is an easy mitigation - instruct the linker using pragma, so all become happy
