LNK errors during built project with libcurl added - visual-studio-2012

Question

I've solved for 2 weeks how to build libcurl project. Finally today I managed it, I followed http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/Using-libcurl-with-SSH-support-in-Visual-Studio-2010.pdf but after I wanted to add libcurl to my own project, it throws lot of LNK errors. So here is code my own project, where I want to add libcurl. It's only for downloading file from url:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "DlData.h"
#include "curl.h"
//#define CURL_STATICLIB
//#pragma comment(lib, "libcurld")
//#pragma comment(lib, "ws2_32")
//#pragma comment(lib, "Wldap32.lib")
size_t write_data(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream)
{
size_t written = fwrite(ptr, size, nmemb, stream);
return written;
};
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
DlData test;
test.PrintMsg("this is test!");
test.WaitForClick();
//Part for download file
CURL *curl;
ofstream fp;
CURLcode res;
char *url = "http://football-data.co.uk/mmz4281/1415/E0.csv";
char outfilename[FILENAME_MAX] = "C:\\Users\\zdenik\\Documents\\GitProjects\\Predictor\\Files\\";
curl = curl_easy_init();
if (curl)
{
fp.open(outfilename);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_data);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, fp);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
/* always cleanup */
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
fp.close();
}
cin.get();
return 0;
}
I set my project properties properly (C/C++ - General, Preprocessor, Linker - General, Input) and want to build it as application - exe file. So far I everything went well and I was able to create libcurld.lib which I added to linker in my project properties. After I built it, it throws a lot of LNK errors and it looks like there is no lib added. Here is output:

My question is simple. What could be wrong with my project properties settings or how to set libcurld.lib properly?

Answer 1

I finally done it. I downloaded precompiled version of libcurl for Windows 32bit, but before I compiled code, I noticed there is error in char outfilename[FILENAME_MAX] = "C:\Users\zdenik\Documents\GitProjects\Predictor\Files\" row. It is needed to add name of the file at the end of the path string - C:\Users\zdenik\Documents\GitProjects\Predictor\Files\file.csv e.g. It would not cause compile error but app would crash after it's triggering.
After that code compiled successfully.
