[ft] statically linking to Freetype in visual studio 2017

[Joaquin Santoyo]

Hi,
I am having trouble statically linking to Freetype2 in VS2017.
I believe I have set the library directory path and name correctly, and I
am linking to a Freetype 2.9 built from source from the provided VS2010
project, in 'Debug Static' configuration. Also the Runtime Library was set
to MTd.
But I still have linking errors:

1>------ Build started: Project: HelloFreetype, Configuration: Debug
x64 ------1>Source.cpp1>Source.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved
external symbol __imp_FT_Init_FreeType referenced in function

I wrote more details here

Is there anything more to it that I have been missing?

I hope this is the correct medium for this question, and thanks for any
support.
Regards,
