The error linker error tells you that the linker thinks the path 
you specified with '+' is a filename (which is why it tacked .lib 
on the end), meaning it doesn't recognize it as a command line 
option. That's because when you compile with -m32mscoff, you are 
using the Microsoft linker (link) rather than optlink, the 
default. The '+path' syntax is something optlink understands, but 
link does not. You can find the MS linker commands at [1], in 
this case you want [2]:

"lflags" : 
"/LIBPATH:C:\Users\antzy_000\Documents\Programming\D\Resume-Parser\src\Parser2"
