如何将asmjit嵌入到自己的C ++项目中？

Question

I am new to asmjit (and somewhat new to C++), and right now I am trying to just get asmjit working within my C++ project. I am using a Windows machine with Visual Studio 17 and C++17, and my first attempt using cmake already worked fine.

However, I'd rather have asmjit embedded into my project as suggested here (see section Configuring & Building, first paragraph). As described there, I just copied the src directory into my project directory and defined the ASMJIT_EMBED and ASMJIT_STATIC flags (though I'm aware that only one would suffice, but it doesn't change anything). Then I tried a very simple test as follows:

#define ASMJIT_EMBED              // Asmjit is embedded (implies ASMJIT_STATIC).
#define ASMJIT_STATIC             // Define to enable static-library build.

#include "src\asmjit\asmjit.h"

int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
    asmjit::X86Xmm var1;
}

The code compiles fine, however, the linker keeps throwing unresolved externals errors:

Probably, I am doing something horribly wrong - but what is it?

Based on orhtej2's comment

You also need to add the files you copied to the solution/project so that MSVS actually builds them.

this is what I did: Just right click on the project ==> Add ==> Existing Item, and then select all the source files from the asmjit directories. This worked fine.
