error: linking with link.exe failed: exit code: 1120

[MNIKIEMA]

Hi there,

I'm running the ort examples for sentence similarity on Windows 11.

If I run the command cargo run --example semantic-similarity, the compilation fail.

I got the following error :

C:\OpenSource\ort\target\debug\examples\semantic_similarity.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 18 unresolved externals␍        


error: could not compile `sentence-transformers` (example "semantic-similarity") due to 1 previous error

I am a new comer in Rust and I don't understand it well. Anyone has some ideas how to fix it?

Thanks

[decahedron1]

Please provide the full output from cargo run.

Sure, here is the whole trace
