[Windows] Linker error "undefined symbol: quantize_i2_s" when building with -q i2_s or -q tl2 on Windows 11

Inizia da 3rdparty/llama.cpp/ggml.c e dai target CMake che producono ggml-base.vcxproj, quindi riproduci il problema con setup_env.py usando -q tl2 o -q i2_s. Traccia dove sono definite quantize_i2_s e dequantize_row_i2_s e se i relativi file sorgente entrano nel target Windows. Il lavoro è completato quando entrambi i comandi completano la build CMake senza errori del linker dovuti a simboli non definiti.

When attempting to build the project on Windows at 16da220ae2b510caff437d403288882687f44ae5 using python setup_env.py -md models/BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T -q tl2(or -q i2_s), the build fails during the CMake linking phase.

The linker (lld-link) reports undefined symbol errors for quantize_i2_s and dequantize_row_i2_s inside ggml-base.vcxproj.

It appears that recent updates in the 3rdparty/llama.cpp submodule (specifically ggml.c) reference the i2_s quantization symbols, but the source files implementing these i2_s functions are not included in the compilation target, causing a linker failure.

Terminal Output:
