I'm not sure I understand the question.  If all you need is to specify
that the executable depends on some foo.lib, just say it:

 target.exe: foo.lib

If, in addition, you want Make to look for .lib files in several
directories, in addition to the one where Make runs, then add
something like this:

 vpath %.lib dir1/subdir1;../dir2/subdir2;d:/foo/bar

Does this answer your question?
