When using [email protected] with Windows as a dependency in a cc_test I get the following link error:

Linking okapi/cli/cli_test.exe failed: (Exit 1120): link.exe failed: error executing CppLink command (from target //okapi/cli:cli_test) C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.42.34433\bin\HostX64\x64\link.exe @bazel-out/x64_windows-opt/bin/okapi/cli/cli_test.exe-2.params

Target //okapi/cli:cli_test failed to build

By adding -defaultlib:bcrypt.lib as a needed library the error is fixed.

Minimal Demo to reproduce linker errors:

cli.cpp:

#include "boost/uuid/uuid.hpp"
#include "boost/uuid/uuid_generators.hpp"
#include "boost/uuid/uuid_io.hpp"

int main() {
    boost::uuids::random_generator gen;
    boost::uuids::uuid id = gen();

    return 0;
}

BUILD.bazel:

cc_binary(
    name = "cli",
    srcs = ["cli.cpp"],
    deps = [
        "@boost.program_options//:boost.program_options",
        "@boost.uuid//:boost.uuid",
    ],
)

MODULE.bazel:

bazel_dep(name = "boost.uuid", version = "1.83.0.bcr.1")
bazel_dep(name = "boost.program_options", version = "1.83.0.bcr.1")

@wep21 I added you as a maintainer for boost.uuid - is this fine for you?
