LNK1181 error. Cannot open libcurl_imp.lib

[bsy6766]

Platform: Windows 10
Version: 3.14.1
Project: win32

I created new project with the latest version of cocos2d-x via github and it fails to run HelloWorld example due to LNK1181 error. And this only happens with Release mode. Debug mode works fine.

Here's the error message.

Error LNK1181 cannot open input file 'libcurl_imp.lib'

I found out that my new project actually has 'libcurl.lib' in external folder but project tries to use 'libcurl_imp.lib' as listed in project property(Linker>input). I was able to run HelloWorld sample by just changing 'libcurl.lib' to 'libcurl_imp.lib' in win32's release folder.

There are an issue already in cocos2d-x repo (link), but I thought this repo was better place to ask for fix.
