When using .dlls in this way the .lib is needed and is called an import library. Linking against an import library does not remove you from needing the .dll. I'm aware of this. I was wondering why the *static* library was still needed for auto-linking and whether it would mix static and dynamic dependencies, i.e. decide by some heuristic when one of the libraries is /better/ and use it instead of a clean static-only or dynamic-only linking.
