Oh, my. That's it.
In my case, since that shortcut is missig(probably because I didn't
add 64bit support at initial compiler installation) I started
"vcvarsx86_amd64.bat" and rebuild the libs(using above commands).
Afterwards it linked fine. THX alot!

Maybe a note in the documentation to use the 64bit command prompt or
execute the correct vcvars script would be helpful. It seems that this
step is so "obvious" that nobody (looked through several blogs)
comments on it. ;-)

Thx, Christoph
