After VS2015 updated my project to the new Platform toolset v140, it fails to build due to a linker error : LNK1104 cannot open file 'libucrt.lib'.
It appears this library has been moved around due to the new Universal CRT as mentioned in this article : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2015/03/03/introducing-the-universal-crt.aspx?PageIndex=2.
While the article does tell me what I should link towards now, it does not provide instructions how.
My Solution generates a .exe and a .dll it uses. I do not know what to do with the matrix the article describes below.
Release DLLs (/MD ): msvcrt.lib vcruntime.lib ucrt.lib
Release Static (/MT ): libcmt.lib libvcruntime.lib libucrt.lib
When you convert your project, you need to make sure you update both the includes AND the linker settings to point to the new CRT.
For includes, add the following:
$(UniversalCRT_IncludePath)
For link, add one of the following depending on your target processor:
$(UniversalCRT_LibraryPath_x86)
$(UniversalCRT_LibraryPath_x64)
$(UniversalCRT_LibraryPath_arm)
