I am attempting to use the static library of ZeroMQ in Visual Studio 2015. I generated it by cloning the git repository, changing the windows.hpp include in fd.hpp from #include <windows.hpp> to #include "windows.hpp", putting libsodium in the right place, and then batch building everything in the vs2015 solution.
In the program I am trying to use ZeroMQ in I included the ZeroMQ include directory, included the ZeroMQ release static directory (libzmq\bin\Win32\Release\v140\static), added libzqm.lib as an additional dependency, defined ZMQ_STATIC and _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS for some other things I am doing in my program, and changed the runtime library to Multi-threaded /MT.
When I try to compile at this point I get these errors:

What confuses me is that when I include the ZeroMQ release dynamic directory (libzmq\bin\Win32\Release\v140\dynamic), which contains the dll, it compiles just fine. However, when I try to run my program it requires the dll to run. This is what I am trying to avoid by using the static library of ZeroMQ. I'm at a loss as to what to do now.
EDIT
I do not believe my question is related to this because it appears to me that the static .lib is referencing stuff in the .dll which means that I need to include the .dll with my program, doesn't this mean I am not really statically linking the library? Has anyone been able to use ZeroMQ on windows without needing a dll?
Looks like I needed to link to these libraries as well.
