unresolved external reference using matlab-generated library function

Hi all,

A colleague created a matlab function exported as a C++ dll for integration into my Microsoft Visual C++ application. I'm having problems trying to link in the dependencies of the Matlab dll. Specifically, I receive unresolved external reference errors even though my project is set up to include the folder that contains all the .lib files:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MATLAB\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\v79\extern\lib\win32\microsoft

However I receive lots of link errors like this:

Error 20 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "extern "C" char const * __cdecl char_buffer_get_buffer_proxy(class char_buffer *)" (?char_buffer_get_buffer_proxy@@$$J0YAPBDPAVchar_buffer@@@Z) referenced in function "public: __thiscall mwString::operator char const *(void)const " (??BmwString@@$$FQBEPBDXZ) D:\Dev\MatlabTest\ConsoleApplication1\CompTestWrapper\TestWrapper.obj CompTestWrapper

Any thoughts on how to work around this issue? Thanks!
