fatal error LNK1127: library is corrupt

[KenethGreen]

Got fatal error

I had an error when I changed the project Hazel configuration type from a dynamic library to a static library. Here is my error:

4>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\lib\10.0.22621.0\um\x64\opengl32.lib : fatal error LNK1127: library is corrupt

I am sure that I did the same thing following the video called Static Libraries and the ZERO Warnings Game Engine series. It`s the 26th video. I mean I coded the premake5.lua files like what this video did.

Things I need to say

1. Before I got this error, I got some warnings saying:

4>g:\learning\c++\projects\hazel\hazel\vendor\spdlog\include\spdlog\fmt\bundled\format-inl.h(1210): warning C4307: “*”: Integer constant overflow

I don't know if this has anything to do with the error LNK1127.

2. I updated my Windows SDK after this error, but it didn`t work. I make sure that it`s not about my OpenGL32.lib. It should be some mistakes I made in the project but I didn't know.

My trying to fix it

1, I updated my Windows SDK from 10.0.22000.0 to 10.0.22621.0.
2, I reconfirmed the project ImGui history version

master:2ead726; docking:cf5a93a

3, I re-coded 4 files 'premake5.lua' following the video.

My question

1. I don't know what caused the fatal error LNK1127. I search for information in Microsoft(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/error-messages/tool-errors/linker-tools-error-lnk1127?view=msvc-170), but the file says: The library file is corrupt. Rebuild the library.No more information I can get. I updated my Windows SDK. I think it is 'Rebuild the library'.
2. I make sure that my file 'OpenGL32.lib' was not corrupt, but the ERROR said it was corrupt.

My Configuration

1. Visual Studio 2017
2. Windows 10 x64 with Windows SDK 10.0.22621.0.
3. C++17

Here is my 4 premake5.lua code

Thank you so much if anyone can help.

You could try and setting all of the premake5.lua files and change the staticruntime "on" to staticruntime "off" because in a later video we were forced to change all of the lua files in the Hazel repo to staticruntime "off" because of a single library that just wouldn't work for Cherno back then when it was staticruntime "on"
I can't find anything else without a repo to compare the code with... sorry.

Thank you so much. I'll try it.
