We try to share enough instructions to run the BSEC library in Arduino IDE, but unfortunately we have no experience with Visual Micro, therefore you might need support from your IDE provider on how to include external static libraries (.a). From a brief search seems to indicate that such dependencies need to be placed in a "libs" folder under your project's folder (e.g. "project_folder\libs\libalgobsec.a"), alternatively you may be able to explicitely force the necessary flags in your project properties.

it was the IDE they fixed the issue
