Facing Linker issues when using Binaries in 'C'

[Madankumar90]

Hey There,
I wanted to use SVM_predict functionality in my C code. So i used svm.h and svm-predict.c in my project and used the windows binaries libsvm.dll. As seen i did not find a .lib library in the windows folder. with the libsvm.dll, svm.def i am finding linker issues that is "fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file" . what am i doing wrong here, or is it a must to have a .lib library to link?? Checked both for 32 and 64 bit but same issue prevails.
