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

[Joaquim Manuel Freire Luís]

My wild guess.

Somewhere you have a spaces-in-name shit and a code named (some variation of this) "lib thisprogram.cpp" got truncated and the linker is now searching for the lib.obj instead of "lib thisprogram.obj"

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.
