Unable to start the application using static library

Question

I am using a static library and creating another static library. Then I am using my test application to test my library.

I am able to successfully build both the library(statically build) and the test application. But, when I am trying to run the application I am getting error,

Unable to start program 'C:\Users\LT-BPant\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\Test_Lib\Debug\Lib_1.lib'.

TO explain,

SDK_C(in C) static library -----> SDK_CPP(in C++, this is written by me and it is using SDK_C) -----> Test_SDK (using SDK_CPP). I am getting errors in this Test_SDK application..

I have set the correct path of the SDK_CPP in the Test_SDK project settings. DO I need to give all the path of SDK_C lib as well and all other dlls that are being used by SDK_C in Test_SDK? As per my knowledge, I should only give the path of the dependent dlls but not static library, since it is statically bound to the project and is needed at compile time.

Is SDK_CPP a DLL or a static library ? Does Test_SDK make direct calls to SDK_C, and if yes is this API declared extern "C" ? — Yves Daoust, May 26 '14 at 13:24
Since the error apparently only involves your main program and your C++ library you should be able to reproduce with a similar reduced example, no C library complicating things. — Cheers and hth. - Alf, May 26 '14 at 13:26
@YvesDaoust, SDK_CPP is static library. Test_SDK only calls SDK_CPP functions — Bhupesh Pant, May 26 '14 at 13:44
@Cheersandhth.-Alf, I have started with the same thing and it worked for me previously!! — Bhupesh Pant, May 26 '14 at 13:46
The missing reference does not seem to have any connection with the C library. — Yves Daoust, May 26 '14 at 13:51
I have gone through the other reference link but that did not helped me at all... I am statically linking the library... — Bhupesh Pant, May 27 '14 at 04:35
