Visual Studio Community 2017 linker problems - MariaDB - c++

Its my first foray into messing with DB's in programming (specifically MariaDB) in Visual Studio and am not having much luck. It looks like I have configured external linking incorrectly however I am staring at my settings and just not seeing the error. Its probably going to be obvious to more experienced coders out there but I can't see the forest because of the trees.
I have tried compiling in both x86 and 64bit with their respective libraries. I've only included the x86 settings below but they are identical APART from pointing to "program files" instead of "program files x86"
My code is quite simple at the moment:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <mysql.h>
int main()
{
MYSQL* temp;
temp = mysql_init(NULL);
return 0;
}
but when I try to compile I get the following output.

The key line here is:
1>LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'LIBCMT' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
You are attempting to use a library which is incompatible with libcmt which is the multithreaded c run time library.
It is likely that you are compiling with a different switch (often /MD or /MT) somewhere to what was used to build the mariadb libs.

which library contains _is_c_termination_complete

I am getting LNK2019 error from linking C++ code with the standard library C++ library. I need to know which libraries contain the functions:
is_c_termination_complete,
__acrt_initialize,
__acrt_uninitialize,
__acrt_uninitialize_critical,
__acrt_thread_attach,
__acrt_thread_detach
to include it in the linking process.
I am writing code in C++ with MS Visual Studio community 2017 and Intel Parallel studio xe 2019 update 1 to be integrated in 3rd party software. The 3rd party software provides a "make" option to compile the object files and link them together.
Compilation works fine, linking provides an issue.
The 3rd party software provides an entry to provide basic linker options in the form of a variable. The default options are as follows:
link_sl='LINK', '/nologo', '/NOENTRY', '/INCREMENTAL:NO', '/subsystem:console', '/machine:AMD64',
' /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBC.LIB', '/NODEFAULTLIB:LIBCMT.LIB','/DEFAULTLIB:OLDNAMES.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFCOREMD.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFPORTMD.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:LIBMMD.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:kernel32.lib', '/DEFAULTLIB:user32.lib', '/DEFAULTLIB:advapi32.lib','/FIXED:NO', '/dll','/def:%E', '/out:%U', '%F', '%A', '%L', '%B',
'oldnames.lib', 'user32.lib', 'ws2_32.lib', 'netapi32.lib','advapi32.lib',
'msvcrt.lib', 'vcruntime.lib', 'ucrt.lib']
This gives the following 11 errors when linking:
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __vcrt_initialize referenced in function __scrt_initialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __vcrt_uninitialize referenced in function __scrt_initialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __vcrt_uninitialize_critical referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_critical
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __vcrt_thread_attach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_attach
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __vcrt_thread_detach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_attach
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _is_c_termination_complete referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_c
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_initialize referenced in function __scrt_initialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_uninitialize referenced in function __scrt_uninitialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_uninitialize_critical referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_critical
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_thread_attach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_attach
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_thread_detach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_detach
Which basically means that I am not including all the necessary libraries.
I already found out that including the library 'libvcruntime.lib' in the options reduces the errors to 6. So, using:
link_sl='LINK', '/nologo', '/NOENTRY', '/INCREMENTAL:NO', '/subsystem:console', '/machine:AMD64',
' /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBC.LIB', '/NODEFAULTLIB:LIBCMT.LIB','/DEFAULTLIB:OLDNAMES.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFCOREMD.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFPORTMD.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:LIBMMD.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:kernel32.lib', '/DEFAULTLIB:user32.lib', '/DEFAULTLIB:advapi32.lib','/FIXED:NO', '/dll','/def:%E', '/out:%U', '%F', '%A', '%L', '%B',
'oldnames.lib', 'user32.lib', 'ws2_32.lib', 'netapi32.lib','advapi32.lib',
'msvcrt.lib', 'vcruntime.lib', 'ucrt.lib',**'libvcruntime.lib'**]
Results in:
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _is_c_termination_complete referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_c
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_initialize referenced in function __scrt_initialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_uninitialize referenced in function __scrt_uninitialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_uninitialize_critical referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_critical
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_thread_attach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_attach
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_thread_detach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_detach
Which other libraries do I need to include in the linking process to resolve these?

I have encountered exactly the same problem when working within the framework provided by this 3rd party software. Although I cannot answer directly the question for finding the libraries containing _is_c_termination_complete, I realised it is still possible to make your code work: simply adding a /FORCE flag to your link_sl flag list.
According to MSVC official documentation:
The /FORCE option tells the linker to create a valid .exe file or DLL even if a symbol is referenced but not defined or is multiply defined.
Therefore, LNK2019 error messages will not stop the linker producing the dll library which is critical for the 3rd party software to run. The linker messages would look like:
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _is_c_termination_complete referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_c
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_initialize referenced in function __scrt_initialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_uninitialize referenced in function __scrt_uninitialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_uninitialize_critical referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_critical
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_thread_attach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_attach
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_thread_detach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_detach
: warning LNK4088: image being generated due to /FORCE option; image may not run
msvcprt.lib(locale0_implib.obj) : warning LNK4210: .CRT section exists; there may be unhandled static initializers or terminators
This is certainly not a decant solution and is not guaranteed to be working in any case, however it worked for my codes at least.

Compile FFmpeg Zeranoe Build with Visual Studio 2013

I downloaded the most recent Zeranoe dev build here, included the header files to my code, placed extern "C" around the includes, since this is a C++ project and FFmpeg is a C library, and added the libs to Visual Studio as well, and I get this linker error:

Searching here and on Google I found many recommendations, such as to add #pragma comment(lib,...), and that the libs are static, so their order is important, and none of this helps.
So I scratched my head even more and realized that the Zeranoe build is made with MinGW-w64, so probably it won't link with Visual Studio. I inspected the lib using dumpbin and the symbols on the libs don't have the underscore, so I am pretty sure it won't work.
The other Zeranoe builds for Windows don't have libs, they are just plain .exe or exe + .dll.
Will I have to make my own VS2013 build of FFmpeg to link it, or is there some alternative way?

What lib files I need to add so that the linker will not fail? notice that the first 2 functions belong to Windows API, so it is very curious it does not link.
Regards
Jaime

For the Windows functions, just look them up on MSDN. CoTaskMemAlloc says you need to link OLE32.LIB. CopyMemory says KERNEL32.LIB. The functions beginning with ud come from a library which Easyhook depends on: "EasyHook makes use of the udis86 library by Vivek.

What's going on? I'm using Win64 OpenSSL v1.0.1e. Do I need older libraries?

from the full log it looks like one first problem is that the compiler can't find the python c header files. Then the linker can't find the python library. Perhaps the options to cl.exe are not good (shouldn't it be /ID:\... instead of -ID:\...?) or you don't have the python header files installed.
