VS2022 build failure. link error with libiconv?

[g40]

Any thoughts on this? Any help welcomed.

Win32 UNICODE build as cloned from Github.

NuGet reports libiconv is present:

All other packages are present and link as expected:

I had the same issues as you when using VC2022.

I suspect it may be due to VC2022 uses vc143 build env (and libraries), where as those being published via the NuGet package manager seemed to only support vc142 of libiconv/libjpeg/....

So, I ended up not using any of the NuGet packages and I used the vcpkg packages instead.

The ones I had to locally install were:

• vcpkg install libiconv:x86-windows
• vcpkg install libjpeg:x86-windows
• vcpkg install libjpeg-turbo:x86-windows
• vcpkg install libpng:x86-windows
• vcpkg install libssh2:x86-windows (there were some other dependencies that were also built/installed so I did not have to manually install them myself, like zlib)

Also, there was a change I had to make to XMLReader.cpp:152 to account for passing a const char into the iconv function call.

I haven't thoroughly tested it yet, but it did build and run. :)
