The "unresolved external" error comes because the linker is not finding the "lib" files. The DLL files are only found during run time, not link time.
Do you set the names of the lib files in the project's Properties?
Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies
Enter the filenames of the all the lib files, separated by spaces. If they are in your Project folder, use something like
$(ProjectDir)Foobar.lib
