I’m getting unresolved extenrals (MSVC 2015) when linkng against PVRTexLib.lib from PVRSDK 3.5 (and 3.4 too):

Even supersimple “hello world” linked against PVRTexLib.lib and used CPVRTexture gives unresolved externals:

2>PVRTexLib.lib(PVRTString.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __vscprintf referenced in function “public: class CPVRTString __cdecl CPVRTString::format(char const *,…)” (?format@CPVRTString@@QAA?AV1@PBDZZ)

This looks like it might be a linker issue rather than a specific PVR issue. It might be more useful to ask a question on a generic programmer help community like Stackoverflow.com
