I just bumped against a potential issue like this. I was test
compiling [1a,b] the `vs/master` branch from Git-For-Windows and got
the LINK error that the 'libcurl-d.lib' was not found (4 places).
Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'libcurl-d.lib' git-imap-send
C:\git-sdk-64\usr\src\git\git-imap-send\ LINK 1
Having just located this email, I changed the build type to 'Release'
and the errors disappeared.
Do we also need to identify where the libcurl-d.lib will be found?
i.e. is it something that needs including via the sdk pacman list (I
think I'm up to date but maybe not..)
A quick web search didn't show any hits for `libcurl-d.lib` (with the
dash `-`), though did find a few for `libcurld.lib`.
If you clone `git-for-windows` and build in VS using `git.sln`, it
will automatically clone `git-for-windows\compat\vcbuild\vcpkg` and
build various things there, resulting in
`git-for-windows\compat\vcbuild\vcpkg\buildtrees\curl\x64-windows-dbg\lib\libcurl-d.dll`
`git-for-windows\compat\vcbuild\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\debug\bin\libcurl-d.dll`
`git-for-windows\compat\vcbuild\vcpkg\packages\curl_x64-windows\debug\bin\libcurl-d.dll`
Which will be picked up by solution to build git.
I have built Debug many times now and didn't have any issues. If you
do, I would suggest to clone a new copy and build it.
I already have the clone of vcpkg from 30/03/2019 with those three files
already present. Have they been updated since then?
The error report is specifically that the .lib file is missing (which I
can't find..)
However the plain `libcurl.lib` is present with matching dll's. It just
feels a little unusual.
On a side note there's a few (not many) Stackoverflow questions about
building libcurl-d.lib, but they feel almost tangential

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37126943/libcurld-dll-is-missing-from-your-computer-adding-libcurl-to-visual-studio-pr
quick look..
not sure if the assertion about choosing "ONE" (of debug/release) in
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/blob/master/compat/vcbuild/README#L26-L30
is part of the issue.
That README doesn't really cover the update method for the vcpkg
repository. It presumes you start from a fresh clone, which can be slow.
I fetched/pulled the vcpkg repoo but no sign of an update.
