Не может определить объект импорта dll C++

Я пытаюсь скомпилировать dll с открытым исходным кодом из git, получаю следующую ошибку:

Ошибка (активная) не может определить сущность dllimport cppkafka

Ошибка 'cppkafka :: Queue :: DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': определение статического элемента данных dllimport недопустимо
