libpq: which lib files should I use

I used the PostgreSQL as my data base and I am coding a c++ project, so I have to use the libpq to connect it.

I have already found the include file and lib file in the PostgreSQL file but there are too many files. I think I don't need to add them all.
For the include file, I just added libpq-fe.h, pg_config_ext.h and postgres_ext.h, then I included the libpq-fe.h, it seems that everything goes well, I can call some functions such as PQconnectdb, PQexec etc. But when I compile it, I get some LNK errors, meaning that I didn't add the right lib files.
I've tried to add libpq.lib and libpq.dll, but I still got the LNK errors.
Does someone know which lib files should I add?
