It seems the static lib works. I Continue with this. Thanks

This is because there are no symbols exported for a dll target under vc. I 
should
probably make Premake aware of this and throw a meaningful error. So under 
VS200X dll
is not supported.

P.S. Glad that Premake4 worked for you. This was a test and it worked for me. 
Thanks
for confirming that it works.
