Newbie question, can I build static with VC++ Express Edition

[Jeremy Gregorio]

I thought so, here's my "Additional Include Directories" line from my
projects properties:

c:\projects\taglib-1.6.3;C:\projects\taglib-1.6.3\taglib;C:\projects\taglib-1.6.3\taglib\toolkit;C:\projects\taglib-1.6.3\taglib\mpeg\id3v2\frames;C:\projects\taglib-1.6.3\taglib\mpeg\id3v2;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)

Which I think had all the bases covered. I'm trying to build the
tagreader.cpp example from the examples directory, and the only line I've
added to the cpp file is

#define TAGLIB_STATIC.

When I was building with dynamic linking and tag.dll I could leave the above
line off and it worked, but do I need more #includes in the file because of
trying to link static?

Again, sorry for such a newbie question. I have a feeling I'm banging up
against my C++ limitations rather than Taglibs :)

Thanks again!
