Possible to integrate latest SWI-Prolog with Visual Studio 2010?

Am attempting to do this, but almost all instructions I've found online are
based around older versions of SWIPL with a libpl.lib library to which the
linker should be pointed. The current version of SWI (Windows, 64-bit) has
instead libswipl.dll.a.

I read a thread here from last year in which Alan Baljeu suggested simply
renaming the dll file to be libswipl.lib, and that this had worked in his
particular case. I tried this, and I still get a link error:

*1>VSProject.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _PL_initialise
referenced in function _wmain*
*1>C:\[...]\VSProject\Debug\VSProject.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1
unresolved externals*


The C code is simply trying to initialize Prolog and do no more than that
for now:

*#include "stdafx.h"*
*
*
*#include <iostream>*
*#include <SWI-Prolog.h>*
*
*
*using namespace std;*
*
*
*int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])*
*{*
*
*
* static char * av[] = {"libswipl.dll", NULL};*
* if( ! PL_initialise(1,av)){*
* cout<<"error initializing"<<endl;*
* }else {*
* cout<<"success initializing!"<<endl;*
* }*
* return 0;*
*}*


I added the* /swipl/include* path as an include directory in *C++->General*,
and added* C:\Program Files\swipl\lib\libswipl.lib* as an Additional
Dependency in* Linker->General*.

But the link behaves no differently from how it would if there were no
libswipl.lib at all.

Should I expect this to work in principle? Are additional steps needed? Has
anybody got SWI working recently with Visual Studio?

Many thanks,

KJ
