HDF5 link error when compiling a new added project about caffe

[pavlejosipovic]

I had this issue as well, configuring NuGet packages from VS UI sometimes doesn't do the right thing.
Try fixing Nuget packages manually, you can just c/p from existing projects.

I want to add a new dll project, I am afraid copy from existing exe project may make some other problems

You should add two lines to the .vcxproj file for your project

<Import Project="..\..\..\NugetPackages\hdf5-v120-complete.1.8.15\build\native\hdf5-v120.targets" Condition="Exists('..\..\..\NugetPackages\hdf5-v120-complete.1.8.15\build\native\hdf5-v120.targets')" />

and

<Error Condition="!Exists('..\..\..\NugetPackages\hdf5-v120-complete.1.8.15\build\native\hdf5-v120.targets')" Text="$([System.String]::Format('$(ErrorText)', '..\..\..\NugetPackages\hdf5-v120-complete.1.8.15\build\native\hdf5-v120.targets'))" />

These should be added to the ImportGroup and Target elements, respectively, probably close to the end of the file. Just look for other similar lines (coming from other NuGet packages that included successfully), or use e.g. caffe.vcxproj as an example.
