[gdal-dev] Building Gdal with C++ Visual Studio 2019 - Error Linking.

[Jeff McKenna]

Please also see the BuildHints wiki, as many of us were contributing 
there steps for Windows and other GDAL drivers over the years: 
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingOnWindows. Today it's still a 
gold mine of tips and configure steps that are key to making it all work 
together.
