[ft] installation problems

[jawwad munir]

hello,I have tried to use freetype in visual studio 2017. I downloaded 2.5.3 
than I compiled the solution directory file to obtain the .lib files. Than I 
went into my project and in the additional include directory I typed the 
address of the include folder I downloaded, under c/c++ under general. Than I 
typed the address of the folder containing the .lib file  under linker general 
and wrote freetype253.lib in the additional dependencies under linker input. 
When I type

#include <ft2build.h>

#include FT_FREETYPE_H

there is no error

but when I use FT_Init_FreeType

at run time it gives error lnk2019 unresolved constant

it does the same with other freetype functions

can you guide me what I am doing wrong

Thank you
