Package 'urdf' exports the library 'urdf' which couldn't be found

edit

So I am trying to follow the installation tutorials and the "create package using colcon" tutorial. I managed to build ros2 from source successfully (at least I think so, console output down below).

But now I am trying to follow the package creation tutorial, where I have to create a workspace with symlink build. That, for some reason, just doesn't want to work. I always get the above stated error, so that the compilation fails. I tried to use the 'release-latest' branch instead of the 'master' one (as it is instructed in the tutorial), but still same error (just for a different package).

I am working on Windows 10, using VS17.

(Successful?) Compile of the "release-latest" source with --merge-install (last relevant lines)
