Trying to build a statically linked binary, getting link error
The problem
I was trying to build a statically linked binary that Direct P/Invokes into a static dependency according to an official doc, got error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol while trying to do so. I then referred to an existing working example, tried to build it but got the same error. I've also tried to run the build command from a Developer Command Prompt for VS, still the same error. Command where link && where cl returns two paths pointing to msvc linker and compiler accordingly, so the absence of these is clearly not an issue.
To Reproduce
On Windows, invoke build.bat from https://github.com/sneusse/aot-static-example

Actually running build.bat from x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022 solved the issue and got comilation going. I guess there is an issue within my specific configuration, maybe something is wrong with PATH. Perhaps we should consider extending the doc, since this is not an obvious solution?
