My aim is to use the Rest API in Visual Studio. I downloaded the C++ tool vcpkg from https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg and followed the instructions on https://github.com/Microsoft/cpprestsdk to install cpprestsdk. That worked fine.
Then, in Visual Studio in the properties of the solution explorer, I included the following paths from the vcpkg folder into "VCC++ Directories->Include directories":
vcpkg-master\vcpkg-master\buildtrees\cpprestsdk\src\v2.10.2-718a4e55e9\Release\include\cpprest
vcpkg-master\vcpkg-master\buildtrees\cpprestsdk\src\v2.10.2-718a4e55e9\Release\include
vcpkg-master\vcpkg-master\buildtrees\cpprestsdk\src\v2.10.2-718a4e55e9\Release\include\pplx
Then I run my code and the following errors occur:
LNK2001 unresolved external symbols
(32 errors like this)
I googled it and was told to include the respective ".lib"-files into "Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies" and to include the paths of the corresponding ".dll"-files into "Properties->Linker->General->Additional Library Directories", what I did.
Now, running the code again, just the following error occurs:
code execution cannot proceed because cpprest_2_10.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix the problem
,
although the "cpprest_2_10.dll" is in the path, which I included previously.
I have no idea what the problem is. Thank you in advance for your time.
