This is rather something you should consult your visual studio documentation 
for - I suspect it is a radio button option somewhere. The *.lib is called an 
"import library" - i.e. find that option in your visual studio menus.. Perhaps 
you can follow the mingw link below to fix it after the build too.

When I am cross-compiling freetype for windows from linux (with the mingw cross 
gcc), the *.lib import libraries are created by an additional step with:
dlltool :
