Linker Errors when Building on Win64 - Problem with yaml-cpp and OIIO

Hello,
i am experiencing issues when building OCIO on several windows machines and several build configs. I tried building from scratch, with vcpkg and also as part of the OpenRV build script, which uses OCIO as an dependency.

The usual error message tells of a Linker missmatch connected to yaml-cpp. I have little to no experience with CMAKE, but at least some of the errors seem to point towards multiple instances of the yaml-cpp lib being linked.

The main culprit could be oiio, since I have not been able to build any OIIO version >= 2.1. If I should move this issue to that repo, please tell.

Thanks for any help.

Iniziare con la configurazione CMake utilizzata per compilare OpenColorIO su Win64 e con lo script di build di OpenRV menzionato nel report; riprodurre il comando del linker Debug e analizzare come vengono selezionati yaml-cpp, Imath e pystring. Il lavoro è completato quando una build termina senza gli errori LNK2038, LNK2005 e LNK1169 riportati.
