Yep - this is a known problem - https://github.com/google/autocxx/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L123 - pull requests to fix this are welcome, but I've not investigated the cause.

@adetaylor Does that error means, it is not able to find the built library autocxx-s2-example.lib
Because i am getting similar error for my project. there also it is not able to resolve some symbols

[adetaylor]

I don't know what's up with this example, but I've made no attempt to build the C++ here, so I'd guess that on non-Windows platforms the required C++ code is inlined, whereas on Windows platform non-inline symbols are required.

Whatever linking problem you're getting is very probably a different cause anyway.

@adetaylor, Instead of creating a .lib file from source, create bindings and link it.
Using AutoCXX, Can we directly use already built library and create rust bindings and call the C++ api
I mean have a C++ library and hearder files, how to link and use it in Rust?

[adetaylor]

I wrote some general information yesterday about this - https://google.github.io/autocxx/contributing.html#bugs-related-to-linking-problems - I won't be able to help with individual bugs.
