'How do I find where a symbol is defined in lots of static library file on windows10?
I am trying to complie a project. The linker throw me an error that the external symbols is unsolved.
I understand that I should tell the linker where the .lib file is to deal with this problem. But how can I find what exactly the .lib file is to link with my code, from quite a lot of .lib files.
I search for solution but all assume compiling on Linux OS, though I actually compile my code on windows10 with visual studio 2019....T _ T.....
Maybe I can seaerch for the .lib file by the decorated symbol
__imp_?GetOutputPort@vtkAlgorithm@@QEAAPEAVvtkAlgorithmOutput@@XZ
but I don't know how to do....

Use the dumpbin command of VS to view the dll dependencies of the target program. The usage method is as follows:
Start -> All apps -> Microsoft Visual Studio 20XX -> Developer Command Prompt for VS 20XX, where XX represents your VS version, I am using VS2022.
Enter: >dumpbin /dependents FilePath:\xxx.exe
Here is my example for your reference.(I hide my file paths and dynamic libraries.)
