[Plugin] Creating plugin based on third party C++ library. Hit a road block

Hi,

I am currently working on a plugin for UE4 and I have hit a bit of a road block. Everything appears to be setup correctly for loading a external library and using dll’s but I cant seem to get it to compile once I have added a function to my third party component. Any and all help would be appreciated. Basing my plugin off ASP.NET’s SignalR C++ client (GitHub - aspnet/SignalR-Client-Cpp: C++ Client for ASP.NET Core SignalR). Log and some code refs are here. Thank you.

@ZhymonNorman did you ever get this working? I am currently attempting to import the signalr plugin built from the same github, but as usual the entire third party plugin area is convoluted and difficult to use, can’t get any namespaces to be recognised or the methods to appear.
