How to fix msbuild LNK1318 in Docker containers without modifying the project files

docker msbuild fix

Create a file with the following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <!-- Fix for error LNK1318 in hyperV docker containers -->
  <ItemDefinitionGroup>
    <ClCompile>
      <DebugInformationFormat>OldStyle</DebugInformationFormat>
    </ClCompile>
  </ItemDefinitionGroup>
  <!-- END fix for error LNK1318 in hyperV docker containers -->
</Project>

And name it `docker_msbuild_fix.props` .

Then, add `/property:ForceImportBeforeCppTargets=docker_msbuild_fix.props` to your msbuild command.

For example:
`msbuild solution.sln /property:ForceImportBeforeCppTargets=docker_msbuild_fix.props`
