VS common error solution: error LNK2019: external symbols that cannot be parsed, common error lnk2019

When I used vs2015 for C ++ program development, I still reported the following error when I added header files and library files based on third-party information:

The information on the internet is basically caused by no library or header file added. I checked it many times and the header file and library I added are correct, what caused my program to be compiled. After a long tangle, I finally found the problem. Please read it carefully. I did not notice that I should select the platform when I added the header file and Library. The default platform on the property page is Win32, so I set the Win32 platform, while my computer is an x64 processor and system, even if my Win32 settings are correct, debugging fails.

 

 

After realizing this, I chose the x64 platform, re-added the header file and library, and then selected x64 compilation. This was successful.
