Clone,configure and build is failing with link issues to fmt

[KartikAiyer]

Hi Jason,

Thanks a bunch for this starter project and all your videos.
I cloned the project today and tried to build and ran into a link issue with the fmt library. It compiles fine if I remove the calls to fmt and spdlog.
I have attached the build output. I hope I'm not making some rookie mistake.

Thanks again for all your hard work.

EDIT: I'm running pop!os : 19.04 and upgraded cmake to version 17.

You have not made a rookie mistake; this is a long-standing issue with the project that needs to be resolved.
The problem is here, on line 62 of your cmake output:

WARN: spdlog/1.5.0: requirement fmt/6.1.2 overridden by your conanfile to fmt/6.0.0 

Quick fix: Go to cmake/Conan.cmake and change line 21 to fmt/6.1.2; that should resolve this particular issue.

Spdlog 1.5.0 sometimes works with fmt 6.0.0. It worked on @lefticus's setup in his video and in the CI setup. However, it doesn't work for a lot of other people, as you can see below:
lefticus/cpp_weekly_game_project#3
lefticus/cpp_weekly_game_project#10

I have made a pull request that addresses this issue, #35.

Please do not close this issue until the problem is solved in the master branch. People need to be able to find this issue without having to look through cpp_weekly_game_project/issues.

I merged #35, it's fixed now
