[zeromq-dev] linking to a static 0MQ 2.2.0 library in VS10

I'm trying to build a 0MQ C++
example<http://zguide.zeromq.org/cpp%3awuserver> using
VS10 and ZeroMQ 2.2.0.

I downloaded the windows
sources<http://download.zeromq.org/zeromq-2.2.0.zip> and
tried to follow these
instructions<http://lists.zeromq.org/pipermail/zeromq-dev/2011-September/013150.html>
in
order to build 0MQ statically. Specifically:

- Switched to Release
- For all 7 projects in the solution:
- set General\Configuration Type to Static library (.lib)
- set C/C++\Code Generation\Runtime Library to Multi-threaded (/MT)
- added ZMQ_STATIC to C/C++\Preprocessor\Preprocessor Definitions
- Updated zmq.h and zmq_utils.h so that if _MSC_VER and ZMQ_STATIC are
defined thenDLL_EXPORT will also be defined

At this point 0MQ seems to build well.

- Created an empty console project:
- switched to Release
- added a single cpp file with the example linked above
- changed random to rand, srandom to srand and snprintf to
_snprintf
- set C/C++\Code Generation\Runtime Library to Multi-threaded (/MT)
- added ...\zeromq-2.2.0\include folder to C/C++\General\Additional
Include Directories
- added ...\zeromq-2.2.0\builds\msvc\Release\*.lib to
Linker\Input\Additional
Dependencies

However I still receive the following linking errors:

1>zmqexp.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__zmq_bind
1>zmqexp.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__zmq_close

1>zmqexp.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__zmq_msg_close

What have I missed?
