Description
Describe your issue
I'm using MSVC on Visual Studio 2022 to compile a libigl program that uses the imgui plugin. I'm geting LINK : fatal error LNK1104: can't oper file 'igl::opengl_glfw_imgui.obj'.
I already set igl::opengl_glfw_imgui among the additional dependencies of the linker. I also set LIBIGL_WITH_OPENGL_GLFW_IMGUI among the preprocessor flags. I'm using VS only to compile: CMake is not involved.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows Visual Studio 2022 build using the libigl imgui plugin and the reported linker and preprocessor settings. Inspect how the plugin target and object file are expected to be provided when CMake is not used. The issue is done when the program links without LNK1104.
