Link error in dirobj.obj when static linking is used #440

Description

@Aderiani

I am trying to use stepcode using static library linking, but if face two LNK2019 errors about unresolved external symbols in dirobj.obj in steputils-static.lib. One symbol is PathCanonicalizeA and the other one is PathIsDirectoryA.
When I change to dynamic libraries the problem is solved and it runs without any problem.
I am using VS2022 with C++17, on Windows 10. Any idea of what could be the problem?

Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol __imp_PathCanonicalizeA referenced in function "public: static class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits,class std::allocator > __cdecl DirObj::Normalize(class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits,class std::allocator > const &)" (?Normalize@DirObj@@sa?AV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@v?$allocator@D@2@@std@@AEBV23@@z)

Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol __imp_PathIsDirectoryA referenced in function "public: static bool __cdecl DirObj::IsADirectory(char const *)" (?IsADirectory@DirObj@@SA_NPEBD@Z)
