#106 Compilation issue - Python - Building error

[Guillaume Prevost]

Hello
I am trying to build quickfix-1-15.1 for Python using comand "python setup.py install". Windows environment. I have Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0 installed.

First i got an issue with extra_compile_args, compilation failed because of the Wno-xxxx options. I removed them in setup.py and it fixed this issue.

Then it failed because of it could not find stdafx.h. I created an empty such file and it fixed this issue as well.

But now i am getting a new one that i cannot sort out. Compilation is working but it fails linking, see error message below. I am not sure how it cannot find the right libraries, can you help?

Thanks
