You most likely have not setup your classes and/or function calls to be
exported. If you have no exported classes/functions Visual Studio will not
generate an import library for you.
But adding CMAKE_WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS ON got the same result.
How to make MSVC generate lib & dll like mingw?
Update cmake 2.8 to 3.4 solves the problem.

I'm trying to build the examples for RP pico using Visual Studio Code 2022 on windows 11.
I have been following the "Getting started with raspberry pi pico" document and have succeeded up to the point where the nmake command is used to build the examples using developer command prompt.
It seems the first hurdle is "Detecting C compiler ABI info - failed" please see below for full output. I have searched all over the internet and stack overflow and tried various peoples fixes but nothing seems to help.
I have tried:
Setting cl.exe as administrator
Running developer command prompt as admin
Reinstalling VS code and cmake
Manually installed windows sdk (as it's not an option on the MSVC installer)
Running VsDevCmd.bat which fails with "Encountered errors" but nothing more useful. I have run the debug and output to txt file but I don't know what I'm looking at.
Thanks in advance.

I had a pretty similar issue in my project with Ninja.
The compilation is triggered with the next bat file (it's not full, just a part to generate CMake cache):

The issue was fixed when I added the next line to the build script:

CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.
If I try to do the same with windows cmd everything works fine. Can you explain where is the problem and how I can fix it? Looks like compiler flags were incorrectly appended (strange Files/Git/MD on the command line). I've also tried `CXXFLAGS="/MD" cmake .." and got the same result.
The problem is in git bash mangling of forward slashes, solution can be easily found. Closing the question.

The thing is, according to this http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#header-only-libraries the two librairies are supposed to be header only header only

Many Boost libraries indeed are header only, but filesystem is not.
Instead of doing things manually I would use the CMake way of adding library dependencies by using the appropriate find_package module:
set(BOOST_ROOT "C:/Program Files (x86)/boost/boost_1_65_1")
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
find_package(Boost COMPONENTS filesystem REQUIRED)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
...
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
Boost binaries for your compiler can be downloaded at https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/
If CMake does not find your Boost installation (CMake 3.10.2 versions FindBoost.cmake module does know about versions up to Boost 1.65.1) you can try to add before the find_package call
set(Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS 1.66.0)
but
Boost changed its naming scheme starting from version 1.66.0. CMake up to version 3.10.2 does not know this scheme and therefore cannot handle it. You need to use Boost 1.65.1 instead.
Edit according to the comment by #ComicSansMS:
Do not hardcode the Boost path to your CMakeLists.txt instead set it per environment variable BOOST_ROOT or provide it as argument to your CMake call.
So go to your project path (the path where your CMakeLists.txt is stored)
mkdir build
cd build
and either do
set BOOST_ROOT=C:\Program Files (x86)\boost\boost_1_65_1
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017"
or call
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -DBOOST_ROOT="C:\Program Files (x86)\boost\boost_1_65_1"
Later you can use the buildmode of CMake to build your entire project
cmake --build . --target ALL_BUILD --config Release -- /nologo /verbosity:minimal /maxcpucount
When I compile my Visual c++ 2008 express program from inside the IDE and redistribute it on another computer, It starts up fine without any dll dependencies that I haven't accounted for. When I compile the same program from the visual c++ 2008 command line under the start menu and redistribute it to the other computer, it looks for msvcr90.dll at start-up.
Here is how it is compiled from the command line
cl /Fomain.obj /c main.cpp /nologo -O2 -DNDEBUG /MD /ID:(list of include directories)
link /nologo /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /ENTRY:mainCRTStartup /OUT:Build\myprogram.ex
e /LIBPATH:D:\libs (list of libraries)
and here is how the IDE builds it based on the relevant parts of the build log.
/O2 /Oi /GL /I clude" /I (list of includes) /D "WIN32" /D "NDEBUG" /D "_CONSOLE" /D "_UNICODE" /D "UNICODE" /FD /EHsc /MD /Gy /Yu"stdafx.h" /Fp"Release\myprogram" /Fo"Release\\" /Fd"Release\vc90.pdb" /W3 /c /Zi /TP /wd4250 /vd2
Creating command line "cl.exe #d:\myprogram\Release\RSP00000118003188.rsp /nologo /errorReport:prompt"
/OUT:"D:\myprgram\Release\myprgram.exe" /INCREMENTAL:NO /LIBPATH:"d:\gtkmm\lib" /MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE:"Release\myprogam.exe.intermediate.manifest" /MANIFESTUAC:"level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false'" /DEBUG /PDB:"d:\myprogram\Release\myprogram.pdb" /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /OPT:REF /OPT:ICF /LTCG /ENTRY:"mainCRTStartup" /DYNAMICBASE /NXCOMPAT /MACHINE:X86 (list of libraries)
Creating command line "link.exe #d:\myprogram\Release\RSP00000218003188.rsp /NOLOGO /ERRORREPORT:PROMPT"
/outputresource:"..\Release\myprogram.exe;#1" /manifest
.\Release\myprogram.exe.intermediate.manifest
Creating command line "mt.exe #d:\myprogram\Release\RSP00000318003188.rsp /nologo"
I would like to be able to compile it from the command line and not have it look for such a late version of the runtime dll, like the version compiled from the IDE seems not to do. Both versions pass /MD to the compiler, so i am not sure what to do.
I know it is not exactly what you are looking for but you can invoke the ide build form the command line and it should give you the same output:
devenv solution.sln /build Release
This will build the Release configuration for solution.sln. (devenv /? on the command line for more info).
