Hi Martin, You are right. I messed up between shared and static libraries. There is a jpeg lib, which I was initially building as static lib and linking to the main project and I don't know why it was not getting linked. I built it as SHARED lib and the whole project compiled successfully.
Thanks A lot. Hi Eric, Thanks for the BuildingWinDLL <http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/BuildingWinDLL> link. It was very helpful. I compiled the lib as SHARED (the library which was not found by the linker) and project compiled sucessfully. Though I still don't understand why was it not getting linked when I compiled it as STATIC library? Thanks a lot for replying my questions.
