TFS 1.X+ TFS 1.4 (upgraded) Compilation link error CryptoPP

[Itutorial]

I don't know how I run into these problems. I have been compiling my server for a long...long time. Today, I am randomly getting this error:



I am using vcpkg and have not updated or changed it.


I just can't make sense of it. I am compiling x64 release. I updated the CMakeLists.txt file but only after I started getting this error. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do. The linker problem is for cryptopp.

Generally, I don't use the 'vcpkg integrate install' command because many projects have different versions of libraries, which causes the compiler to automatically search for and install the libraries.

I use static libraries, download a separate version of vcpkg without using the integrate install command, then place two in vc1x/ "Directory.Build.props" and "Directory.Build.targets" files in the project pointing to which vcpkg i will use for a project.
ex:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project>
    <Import Project="H:\Projects\vcpkg-boost178\scripts\buildsystems\msbuild\vcpkg.props" />
</Project>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project>
    <Import Project="H:\Projects\vcpkg-boost178\scripts\buildsystems\msbuild\vcpkg.targets" />
</Project>

Integrate vcpkg into an MSBuild or Visual Studio project.

You don't need to use CMake.txt when using vcpkg, so try checking if vcpkg has cryptopp!

I am certain cryptopp is installed with vcpkg. It was working a couple days ago and I haven't removed, installed, or updated anything in vcpkg. I tried adding those files and it didn't change anything. I am lost. I updated my post above with an image showing that cryptopp.lib is included in the vcpkg libs. It's driving me crazy.

Okay, I figured it out. For some reason visual studio was showing that vcpkg manifest install was false but the vcxproj file set it to true. After setting it to false everything linked correctly. Idk wtf caused this.

<PropertyGroup Label="Vcpkg">
    <VcpkgEnableManifest>false</VcpkgEnableManifest>
    <VcpkgEnabled>true</VcpkgEnabled>
    <VcpkgManifestInstall>false</VcpkgManifestInstall>
  </PropertyGroup>
