freerdp-shadow3.lib unresolved external symbols

[MatteoBax]

Describe the bug
When I try to compile the project, I get the following errors towards the end:

Creating the freerdp-shadow-cli.lib library and the freerdp-shadow-cli.exp object
LINK : warning LNK4098: default library 'MSVCRT' conflicts with use of other libraries; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. configure the project with the command: cmake -GNinja -B freerdp-build -S freerdp -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_ALL_DEPENDENCY=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=D:\freerdp\workspace -DWITH_SERVER=ON -DWITH_SAMPLE=ON -DWITH_PLATFORM_SERVER=OFF -DUSE_UNWIND=OFF -DWITH_FFMPEG=ON -DWITH_SWSCALE=ON -DWITH_DSP_FFMPEG=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY=MultiThreaded -DWITH_WEBVIEW=OFF -DCHANNEL_URBDRC=OFF
2. Compile with: cmake --build freerdp-build
3. See error

Expected behavior
That the project is compiled.

@MatteoBax so you play randomly with CMake options and found a combination that does not work?

A note:

1. server side backends are not implemented for windows (the library is there, but nothing more than a sample works) - only exception is proxy which works fully
2. static linking on windows is quite a beast and we don´t test more than the clients with it. Feel free to create pull requests for stuff that you find ;)
3. we do notify about unmaintained components quite prominently and you should see lots of that during your CMake configure ;)
