When using the static library, make sure to add `BENCHMARK_STATIC_DEFINE` (For Visual Studio under `[Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Preprocessor > Preprocessor Definitions]`).

When using MingGW GCC toolchain for your project, compilation command might look like this (libbenchmark.a in the same directory as test_benchmark.cpp):

`g++ test_benchmark.cpp -DBENCHMARK_STATIC_DEFINE -isystem "C:\\Program Files\\vcpkg\\installed\\x64-mingw-static\\include" -L "C:\\Program Files\\vcpkg\\installed\\x64-mingw-static\\lib" -lbenchmark -lpthread -o benchmark_test.exe`

Can also use the graphical version of CMake:
