curl as static lib gives me linker errors

Hello,

I am building on Windows 10 msvc.

- I downloaded curl-7.82.0

- Ran CMAKE and *unchecked *the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS option; generated the
visual studio project and built it; so far so good.

- My test app is:


#include <include/curl.h>//<.just a pragma to include the .lib
[debug/release]
#include <curl/curl.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
     std::cout << "version: " << curl_version() << std::endl;
     return 0;
}


I get linker error:

*1>curl.obj : error LNK2019: symbole externe non résolu
__imp_curl_version référencé dans la fonction main*


What is strange is that the CURL_STATICLIB macro is NOT set in my build
(curl.h#109); and CURL_EXTERN expands as __declspec(dllimport);
obviously it shouldn't.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

-Julien
