Description

Summary

Using Visual studio 2019 to compile the current develop branch with the test projects included will fail with the following three error messages:
Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol jump_fcontext referenced in function "public: void * __cdecl boost::coroutines::detail::coroutine_context::jump(class boost::coroutines::detail::coroutine_context &,void *)" (?jump@coroutine_context@detail@coroutines@boost@@QEAAPEAXAEAV1234@PEAX@Z) load_test C:\Users\***\Documents\NanoBinaries\nano\load_test\boost_coroutine.lib(coroutine_context.obj) 1 Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol make_fcontext referenced in function "public: __cdecl boost::coroutines::detail::coroutine_context::coroutine_context(void (__cdecl*)(struct boost::context::detail::transfer_t),struct boost::coroutines::detail::preallocated const &)" (??0coroutine_context@detail@coroutines@boost@@QEAA@P6AXUtransfer_t@1context@3@@ZAEBUpreallocated@123@@Z) load_test C:\Users\***\Documents\NanoBinaries\nano\load_test\boost_coroutine.lib(coroutine_context.obj) 1 Error LNK1120 2 unresolved externals load_test C:\Users\***\Documents\NanoBinaries\Release\load_test.exe 1

The error seems to have appeared after the Boost link targets were changed in this commit:

Node version

v25db7

Build details

Build using these instructions:
https://github.com/nanocurrency/nano-node/files/10362594/Nano_windows_install.pdf
This has worked fine before

OS and version

Windows 10

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Pull develop branch
  2. Run cmake and include test project
  3. open in VS2019 and compile

Expected behavior

No compile errors

Actual behavior

Three errors are outputted

Possible solution

It seems like it has something to do with boost coroutine.
Apparently the order that it is included matters: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17883184
