Visual Studio 2019 works... kinda

I have gotten the Star primitive sample to work.  Other samples get a bunch of linker errors as such:

1>CommonLibrary.lib(algparam.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static void __cdecl std::_String_base::_Xran(void)" (?_Xran@_String_base@std@@SAXXZ)

They are typically for Xran() and Xlen().  I imagine that the star sample and a few others don't link the offending objects in CommonLibrary.lib

I am using the VS 2012 - Windows XP toolset for compile.
