为什么在尝试使用 MSVC 编译 32 位代码时出现错误？

Question

I'm trying to compile a file as x86 but I keep getting this error: (Main.obj: fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'x86')

I set up my build task accordingly as such:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "type": "shell",
            "label": "C/C++: cl.exe build active file",
            "command": "CL",
            "args": [
                "/D WIN32",
                "${file}",
                "\"C:\\Users\\Axair\\Desktop\\VScode\\OpenGL\\GLFW\\lib-vc2022\\glfw3.lib\"", // 32 bit library
                "/link",
                "/MACHINE:X86"
            ],
            "presentation": {
                "showReuseMessage": false,
                "clear": true,
                "close": false
            },
            "problemMatcher": [
                "$msCompile"
            ],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            }
        }
    ]
}

Console output looks like this:

C:\Users\Axair\Desktop\VScode\OpenGL>cl /D WIN32 "C:\Users\Axair\Desktop\VScode\OpenGL\Main.cpp" "C:\Users\Axair\Desktop\VScode\OpenGL\GLFW\lib-vc2022\glfw3.lib" /link /MACHINE:X86

C:\Users\Axair\Desktop\VScode\OpenGL\GLFW\lib-vc2022\glfw3.lib
Main.obj : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'x86'

The compiler keeps recognizing Main.obj as an x64 module despite the specified WIN32 option.

The compiler version was set to x64. I changed my PATH variable to point to the right version of the compiler, in my case -> C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.32.31326\bin\Hostx64\x86
