This is a perennial annoyance when working with static libraries 
precompiled with Visual Studio on Windows. Some projects are 
configured one way, some another.

When you link statically with a library, you have to link with 
all of its dependencies, too. For GLFW, you'll need User32.lib, 
gdi32.lib, and OpenGL32.lib, off the top of my head.

Any particular reason you want to avoid the DLL?
