I want to make a plugin for a software. In order to make the plugin, I should make a .dll file but I have faced many challenges about making it. My system is Windows 7 and I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 as an IDE. I made a dll project and made two source files, one header file and then I built the solution but I encountered the following errors.

Note : before building the solution, I added the path of include and lib directories of the software.

How can I solve these errors ?

In addition to adding the library path to the project setting be sure you also add the required library files(.lib) as an additional dependency for the linker. you can find the additional dependency input field at project->properties->linker->Input and add the actual names(with extension) of the library files separated by a space.
