Dlib LNK2001 unresolved external symbol USER_ERROR__inconsistent_build_configuration__see_dlib_faq_2

Question

I am trying to implement the DLIB 19.15 library to my app. I generated the dlib project for Windows Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64 and made a Release build using CMAKE. In the project I have added directories and additional dependencies.

But during compilation I have following error

LNK2001 unresolved external symbol USER_ERROR__inconsistent_build_configuration__see_dlib_faq_2

How Can I solve this problem?

Meet the same problem. You need to add one cpp file named dlib_path\dlib\all\source.cpp from the dlib source directory to your project and re-compile it. Do not copy it to your project path, just add it from dlib source directory.
