Unable to link to libsodium in VS2019

[NE1W01F]

I hate to ask but I have been having problems linking libsodium.

The libsodium version is libsodium-1.0.18-stable-msvc I got it from the website, I was also using the debug static linked lib. I also added the #define SODIUM_STATIC to my main cpp file. But I still get a linking error. I have been trying to fix this for an hour now. I have googled the problem and searched this github to.

The code I used

#include <sodium.h>
#define SODIUM_STATIC

int main(){
     return sodium_init();
}

The errors I got

LNK2019	unresolved external symbol __imp__sodium_init referenced in function _main
LNK1120	1 unresolved externals

The only settings i changed in my project was
Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Additional Dependencies = libsodium.lib
Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Additional Library Directories
Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Additional Include Directories
Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Runtime Library = Multi-Threaded Debug

If you have any ideas on how to fix this problem then please repliy.

Put your #define SODIUM_STATIC before the #include <sodium.h>
