With MSVC you need to ensure that the libary build that you use is built with exactly the same run time library options as your .exe file - if that isn't the case you will see a lot of linker errors about multiply defined symbols as you found. Probably the easiest way is to just add the source for the library (in libs/filesys/src) to a static lib project in your IDE and build from there. It's not rocket science, but sometimes it can feel like it :-)
