How can I statically link my project dependencies using vcpkg with Visual Studio?

Question

I've read some ways to do what I want but none of them worked and they end up using the same method.

I've tried this solution, which I couldn't make it work...

Here's what I get outputed:

Any thoughts on how to solve this?

Globals part of my .vcxproject:

My Visual Studio's verbosity level (from the solution mentioned):

Output of vcpkg list:

Type of Runtime Library used:

I've found a sort of solution (issue from vcpkg's github) that said I should manually add Ws2_32.Lib, Wldap32.Lib and Crypt32.Lib but I don't know how to do that...

Thank you in advance!

You need to set your lib directory under Configratuon Properties->VC++ Directories to vcpkg static lib directory. On top of that you need to then link the libs under the Configuration Properties->Linker or using pragma comment(lib,"libname")
