You first has to find at which step you have an error.

once you know which step is failing it's easier to find the problem and fix it.

Do you have errors compiling ?
Do you have errors linking ?

then change your build system to output the commands and check for
missing arguments or misspelled paths.

in complex builds there could be more problems than just
compiling/linking of course i.e. configuration switch, defines, etc...

I'm working with Visual Studio Professional, I usually do not have
those kinds of problems.

but at a glance you seems to have linking problems.
