Linking static and dynamic C libraries

I: Create a "ThirdParty" folder in your UE4 project's source folder.


II: In the "ThirdParty" folder, create a folder that determines your libary's name.


III: In the library folder, create a C# build file - the name is the same as the folder's, the extension is ".build.cs".


IV: Create the build file for the libarary (see main aspects of the build file in the code comments) - See code block containing the build file at the bottom


V: Add the library to your project's build file
