Linker can not find __imp_clock and __imp_time64 when building a sample of GTSAM

I build GTSAM in Windows and now I am trying to build a sample application with it.

The sample application is very simple (it is part of GTSAM) but when I run it, I am getting this linker error:

Severity    Code    Description                                                                 Project  File   Line    Suppression State
Error       LNK2019 unresolved external symbol __imp_clock referenced in function gk_CPUSeconds example  D:\MyData\SourceCode\gtsam_win\cmake\example_cmake_find_gtsam\build\metis-gtsamDebug.lib(timers.obj)   

and

Severity    Code    Description                                                             Project     File                                                                                                    Line    Suppression State

a search showed me that these two functions are part of MSVC libraries and they should in linked to the system.

How can I fix the issue?

It seems that the problem is mismatch between the setting during library build and application build, but I can not find any linker setting different. Where to look for any such difference?

__imp_ prefix in unresolved external runtime library symbol from the linked library means the library was built with DLL runtime (/MD in C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library).

If you build the application with static runtime (/MT) the symbols from the DLL runtime will be unresolved. Runtime settings should be the same for all compilation units.
