LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MT_StaticRelease' doesn't match value 'MD_DynamicRelease' in file.obj

This error can occur when you are statically linking your project with a library (typically a file with .lib extension) but the linker setting in your Visual Studio project are set to dynamically link (meaning the link will occur during runtime, usually with a .dll file).

To define that you need the project to use static linking start Visual Studio. In the Solution Explorer pane, right click the project name, and select Properties. Expand the properties as shown in the figure below: C/C++ --> Code Generation --> Runtime Library, select the Multi-threaded (/MT) option from the dropdown menu.

The library and your project must be linked with the same settings with regards to the C Runtime Library.

In your case one was linked against the CRT DLL (/MD) and the other was linked statically (/MT).

You just need to make sure both match and this error will go away.
