Re: [edk2-devel] EmulatorPkg WinHost build failure with VS2019 Was: EDK2 environment setup

["Leif Lindholm" <leif@nuviainc.com>]

Hi Navdeep, (+EmulatorPkg maintainers)

Please provide logs in text format rather than as screenshots
(although admittedly, I only spotted this one because it got
quaranteened).

Nevertheless, the current issue looks like
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61082301/how-to-solution-the-following-error-when-build-emulatorpkg

I.e., WinHost requires version specific linker options for Visual
Studio that don't seem to have been implemented for VS2019 yet.
Given that MSFT:*_VS2017_X64_DLINK_FLAGS and
MSFT:*_VS2015x86_X64_DLINK_FLAGS look identical, adding a copied line
and renaming it MSFT:*_VS2019_X64_DLINK_FLAGS might work.

Alternatively, the X64 versions could perhaps be condensed to simply a
single MSFT:*_*_X64_DLINK_FLAGS.

/
    Leif
