Using CurlPP with vs2008

I'm trying to build a C++ console app in VS2008 using the static curlpp library. The code - which is curlpp example 00 - is as follows:

#include "stdafx.h"


#include <curlpp/curlpp.hpp>
#include <curlpp/Easy.hpp>
#include <curlpp/Options.hpp>


using namespace curlpp::options;

int main(int, char **)
{
  try
  {

    // Our request to be sent.
    curlpp::Easy myRequest;

    // Set the URL.
    myRequest.setOpt<Url>("http://example.com");

    // Send request and get a result.
    // By default the result goes to standard output.
    myRequest.perform();
  }

  catch(curlpp::RuntimeError & e)
  {
    std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
  }

  catch(curlpp::LogicError & e)
  {
    std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
  }

  return 0;
}

I've downloaded the source and have my include path pointed to the source include files, but when I try and compile, I get a boatload of errors in the inline files of the type:

definition of dllimport function not allowed

Surely lots of folks have used curlpp with vs2008 and I'm missing something obvious.
