I have found a couple of additional issues when trying to build using
Conan, all libraries are static and there aren't any prebuilt packages for
MSVC 2022 yet. Also for some specific packages:
- zstd doesn't include the binaries either.
- gettext packages only provides binaries, no libraries, nor headers.
- openssl builds the binaries, but is missing some objects in the
libraries (error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol).
- libxml builds the binaries, but is missing some objects in the
libraries (error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol).
