Linker Error when using PPLib 2024.2.8

[ejbunnell]

Describe the bug
When I update my PPLib to version 2024.2.8 from 2024.2.3, it creates a Linker Error when I build the C++ code.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Update PPLib to version 2024.2.8
2. Compile C++ code
3. See many errors that are not present when PPLib is in version 2024.2.3

Expected behavior
The build succeeds in 2024.2.3. I am not sure if there are newer versions before 2024.2.8, but I know 2024.2.3 works.

Screenshots

Versions:

• OS: Windows 11
• GUI Version: 2024.1.6
• PPLib Version: 2024.2.8
• PPLib Language: C++

Is your WPILib version up to date?

It was not, but now it is. The error is still present. I believe it might stem from this:

PathplannerLib.lib(LocalADStar.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _Thrd_sleep_for referenced in function "void __cdecl std::this_thread::sleep_until<struct std::chrono::steady_clock,class std::chrono::duration<__int64,struct std::ratio<1,1000000000> > >(class std::chrono::time_point<struct std::chrono::steady_clock,class std::chrono::duration<__int64,struct std::ratio<1,1000000000> > > const &)" (??$sleep_until@Usteady_clock@chrono@std@@v?$duration@_JU?$ratio@$00$0DLJKMKAA@@std@@@23@@this_thread@std@@YAXAEBV?$time_point@Usteady_clock@chrono@std@@v?$duration@_JU?$ratio@$00$0DLJKMKAA@@std@@@23@@chrono@1@@z)

I'm not entirely sure, however.

please use code fences (triple backtick) for citing output

to avoid notifying a bunch of folks accidentally.

Have you tried updating your Visual Studio Build Tools? Our team was facing the same issue but that resolved it.

That seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you!
