How did you compile the .lib? Was it from within Visual Studio, or
using a makefile? How are you linking your application? What are the
error messages?

I use Visual C++ 12.0 and ended up creating my own makefile to build a
.lib, to match the conventions used in the rest of my code base. I
haven't had any problems linking to it. It is possible that the
curl-supplied makefile is out of date; using multiple FOSS libraries in
my code, I have found that Windows build support tends to lag
(especially for any project that uses configure scripts).
