VC++ Glew external linking errors

Question

so I have this project for my graphics class that I need to complete using C++ and OpenGL. I am using VS2013 and VC++ to complete the project. The first example we were given built successfully and ran fine. However, when we were given the code for the second project, I get a bunch of linking errors (below) where Mac and Linux computers were able to compile and run just fine. I have been through numerous blogs on and off of stack overflow, and have been unable to resolve this issue.

I've also replaced all the libraries and dlls and headers both from the pre-packaged download from the glut website, and I also compiled the source code of glut and placed the lib, dll, and header files into the correct folder and still get the same error.

The libraries here must be dynamic, they cannot be static (as per request of my professor).

The source code can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/nolanblew/cs-150-project-2/overview, and then click on "download" or you can fork it (please don't push to this repo - it will be public until this question is answered).

Here are all of the link errors I'm getting. The code compiles fine but fails on build:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ok, well after a lot of research I found out what to do on this page: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/472791-beginner-woes-linking-solved/

Basically,

In VC++, click View>Propery Pages...

Expand Configuration Properties>Linker>Input

add glew32.lib (for example) to the Additional Dependencies box
