title: Linking V8 Statically
body: <p>I have a project that works perfectly with V8 dynamically, but I want to embed it statically.  I can successfully compile V8 as static, but when I included the resulting libs in my C++ project (which I also changed to static linking), I get errors like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error   12  error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall v8::HandleScope::HandleScope(class v8::Isolate *)" (__imp_??0HandleScope@v8@@QAE@PAVIsolate@1@@Z)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have many other errors as well.  I've seen some posts mention a v8.lib, but it is not present.  There is, however, a v8.obj file.  </p>
  
  <p>Any insight would be most welcome, thanks.</p>
