Using static libraries but getting error of gcrypt.dll not found

Context

I'm using the static libraries downloaded from the release page. I've checked the settings of the project configurations including C/C++ and Linker in visual studio 2022, and when I try to run the program, it'll give a system error "This application failed to start because gcrypt.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.". The error can be solved by adding gcrypt.dll to the project folder, but I was wondering if the static library in Releases should be an import library or an object library.

Expected Behavior

The program can run without adding gcrypt.dll to the project folder

Actual Behavior

Need to add gcrypt.dll to the project folder to run the program

Your Environment

  • Libgcrypt Release Version Used: libgcrypt_libgcrypt-1.10.0_msvc17.zip
  • Operating System and Version: Win 10 21H1
  • Compiler/IDE Version(s): Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 17.1.0

You need to add libgcrypt.lib to your linker includes. Note that gcrypt.lib is for the dynamic library and libgcrypt.lib is for the static.

Thanks, I've removed gcrypt.lib from linker includes, and now it works perfectly
