My MSVC project need a static version of wimlib, but the official binary only contains the import library of libwim-15.dll. And the are no way (like CMake or Makefile for nmake) to build it.

Building wimlib with MSVC is not supported.

It seems that wimlib used too many GCC and CLANG specific functions, macros and stuff like typeof() and __attribute__.
A port to MSVC should replace these stuff to MSVC specific alternatives, which is theoretically possible but requires a lot of work.
It seems that alignment is broken on msvc. Will make a push request once it is fixed.
Seems that capturing files from the Windows folder is broken on MSVC build.
EDIT: Fixed
