It's not trying to link to the static library - you are.

In your project's properties, under C/C++ > Code Generation, set the
Runtime Library to be "Multi-threaded DLL" in the release configuration
and "Multi-threaded Debug DLL" in the debug configuration.  If you are
not using the Visual Studio IDE then use the /MD and /MDd compiler
switches respectively.
