cpprest-sdk

I am working on this code which receives a cpprest sdk response containing a base64_encoded payload which is a json. here is my code snippet: typedef std::wstring string_t; //defined in basic_types.h in cpprest lib void demo() { http_response response; //code to handle respose ... json::value output= response.extract_json(); string_t payload = output.at(L"payload").as_string(); vector<unsigned char> base64_encoded_payload = conversions::from_base64(payload); std::string utf8_payload(base64_encoded_payload.begin(), base64_encoded_payload.end()); //in debugger I see the Japanese chars are

I have referred to this thread, however it seems rather dated (and has broken links): https://katyscode.wordpress.com/2014/04/01/how-to-statically-link-the-c-rest-sdk-casablanca/ I have tried to download the Casablanca repo from GitHub and compile the "cpprestsdk140.static" project which produces a lib file. The problem is I get a number of unresolved externals when linking it with my
