This is the output of lib /list SDL2.lib

There's many many lines of just "sdl2.dll"

My files are .lib files.

That must be it, make sure you compile your sdl as static library

subConfigurations "bindbc-sdl" "staticBC"

That's not necessary when the version BindSDL_Static is provided. The static and staticBC subconfigurations both enable -version=BindSDL_Static, and staticBC is only required when you want to compile as a static binding with -betterC.

That's because you're linking with the import library. On Windows, static libraries and import libraries both have the .lib extension. The SDL development packages on the download page at

http://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

do not include precompiled static libraries. They only include the DLLs and the import libraries. So you will either have to compile an SDL static library yourself or find someone who has made it available for download. And then when you link it with your executable, you will also need to link with every dependency that SDL has.
