I've compiled the .dll earlier, but they've now all been deleted. They
would have been built when I built the entire solution (and thus all
the projects). I've subsequently deleted them and just built the
libFLAC_static.lib

I've previously installed the "FLAC for windows with installer"
from
the flac website, but I've since deleted that too. There are no flac
libraries anywhere on my machine now except for that single
libFLAC_static.lib that has been built.

Just to be sure, I went to export.h and exlicitly defined FLAC_API and
commented out the lines

#ifdef FLAC_API_EXPORTS
#define	FLAC_API	_declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define FLAC_API	_declspec(dllimport)

I've so cleaned and rebuilt all my project files but still get the errors:

Could there be some setting that I've got incorrect or incompatible

I'm not very familiar with MSVC, but I was suggesting cleaning out all
the temporary files too, not just the dll/lib end targets.

From the looks of the above macro, you should #define FLAC_API to
nothing. Perhaps you could try searching deeper if FLAC_API was doubly
defined elsewhere.

I've found the issue. I've only just realised that FLAC__NO_DLL is
also required by the application using flac, not just the flac project
itself.

I've subsequently just added #define FLAC__NO_DLL to my two header
files that include flac headers and now everything is fine.

Thanks for all the help.
