title: curl linkage errors
body: <p>I'm building a C++ project using curl in Visual Studio 2008. I get linker errors for every curl function I'm using:
  error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _curl_multi_add_handle referenced in function </p>
  
  <p>As mentioned in the FAQ section 5.7 in <a href="http://curl.haxx.se/docs/faq.html#Link_errors_when_building_libcur" rel="nofollow">http://curl.haxx.se/docs/faq.html#Link_errors_when_building_libcur</a>
  I'm linking against static libraries, and have specified CURL_STATICLIB in the PreProcessor definitions, but still I face the same problem. It is as if the static libraries are not there, even though I have specified the lib directory containing the static libs in my project library path.
  What else can one do? Please help before I shoot myself.</p>
