[gdal] cannot open file 'gdal_i.lib'

[sbheinric]

Operating system

Windows 10 Enterprise

Compiler

MSVC Community 2022 (64-bit)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1) Initialize a new hello world repo like this:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/get_started/get-started-vs?pivots=shell-cmd

2) Add GDAL port:
vcpkg add port GDAL

3) Then add GDAL as a dependency in the Cmake:

CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)

project(HelloWorld)

find_package(fmt CONFIG REQUIRED)
find_package(GDAL CONFIG REQUIRED)

add_executable(HelloWorld helloworld.cpp)

target_link_libraries(HelloWorld PRIVATE fmt::fmt GDAL::GDAL)

4) Build

Where should this come from? The command line passes vcpkg_installed\x64-windows\debug\lib\gdald.lib. Show your code...

[sbheinric]

Problem has been solved, I found the following offending line hardcoded in some of our library code:

#pragma comment(lib, "gdal_i.lib" )

[dg0yt]

#pragma comment(lib, "gdal_i.lib" )

Yeah, that's what I expected.
