title: Visual Studio 2019 - How to add a .lib to a c++ library project?
body: <p>I created a c++ library with VS2019</p>
  <ul>
  <li><p>my other projects see and use that library fine, they compile fine</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>but my library itself cannot be compiled as it complains about missing entry points for a depending lib</p>
  </li>
  </ul>
  <p><strong>I want to add that .lib file, like I did for my other projects</strong></p>
  <p>but in the library project settings, <strong>there is no linker option</strong>, so I cannot tell it to use the missing .lib dependency</p>
  <p>how do I resolve this ?</p>
  <p>thanks for helping me on this</p>
  <p>[edit] strangly enough SDL libraries dont cause any problem (becos of dll's ?) while nfd.lib has no dll</p>
  <p>maybe the reason I cannot link my library with static libraries ?</p>
