Description
I'm trying to build the commandline with VS on windows.
The libs are downloaded with "download_libs.ps1" script from the "scripts" folder.
As far as I can tell, for xxx lib, the folder structure is:
OF_ROOT/libs/xxx/include/xxx
OF_ROOT/libs/xxx/licence
OF_ROOT/libs/xxx/lib
But when compiling with the .sln file provided, many errors are reported as:
This is due to the file is trying to look for the specific lib files in:
OF_ROOT/libs/xxx/ instead of OF_ROOT/libs/xxx/include/xxx
I'm not sure if this is due to some changes on folder structure by adding licences etc, but clearly there must be some clever way rather than copy/past the files.
Any solutions for this?

Research direction
Reproduce the commandline build on Windows with VS2017 using the provided .sln file and scripts/download_libs.ps1. Compare the library layout under OF_ROOT/libs/xxx with the paths expected by the solution and its project settings. Done means the commandline compiles without manually copying library files.
