compile error unresolved externals

[laxative]

Greetings

Thought I'd pick up the project again for a little while.
Did the ground up approach because there are some code changes I like to have active.

Im stuck on compiling, I get 17 to go, 6 fail. They fail with externals in common.lib.. not sure what's going on.

Completely new data pull using the ground up server install (which now has no reference to zlib.. which may be what I'm missing?)
VS2019, MYSQL, PERL, Dependencies etc... Cmake runs great no errors.

compile fails here:
