Unable to rebuild for Windows

[giuppe]

This is the same issue as https://github.com/haxelime/lime/issues/875 .

If you try to rebuild via lime rebuild systools windows, you get an error because of a missing reference to the sprintf function. That function was removed from default MSVC libs some years ago, to nudge developers into using more secure version of those functions (like sprintf_s)
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/secure-template-overloads?view=msvc-160

There are two possible fixes for this issue:

• changing sprintf with sprintf_s in the code (there is only one instance of this);
• adding legacy_stdio_definitions.lib to the linker: that would load the missing reference to sprintf

Edit: I did a PR with the second solution.

what file is it that i need to put those lines of code?
