One error when compiling Audacity 2.1.2 on Win 7 Pro 64

Programming and Development Compiling Audacity

Can someone please give me a hint about this one (only) error
24> LV2Effect.cpp
24> Generating Code…
24> SoundActivatedRecord.cpp
24>AboutDialog.obj : warning LNK4075: ignoring ‘/EDITANDCONTINUE’ due to ‘/SAFESEH’ specification
24>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file ‘wxmsw30ud_qa.lib’
========== Rebuild All: 23 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

wxWidgets 3.0.2. ok
wxmsw30ud_qa.lib exists
I am using VS 2015 but I set Platform Toolset to VS 2013 (v120)
build option. Active(Debug) Platform. Active(Win32)
Python and ASIO are in path, no problem there (I think)

I don’t develop on Windows, but I don’t think that will work.
The win/compile.txt document specifies “Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 C++”, and as far as I’m aware that document is up to date.

Thank you Steve. There must be solution. According to this forum people are using this configuration and has no problem to compile audacity. Which one is this project with link error and is this link error from wxWidgets (aboutdialog.obj) or from audacity project. To which folder should I copy that lib for linker to find it? I need some directions for experimentation

That does explicitly solve snprintf conflicts in VS2015, but I don’t know whether having solved that you can go on to complete Audacity build. You are on your own if you choose to use VS2015 and not 2013.

I would try the obvious - quit VS, rebuild Widgets, ensure the WXWIN environment variable is correct then reboot the computer.
