WIndows build fails with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON

[trrahul]

If you build on windows using -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON, it fails with linker errors.

common.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ggml_mlock_supported referenced in function "void __cdecl gpt_print_usage(int,char * *,struct gpt_params const &)" (?gpt_print_usage@@YAXHPEAPEADAEB
Ugpt_params@@@Z)
quantize.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ggml_time_init referenced in function main
quantize.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ggml_init referenced in function main

I don't have enough knowledge in makefiles to fix the issue correctly but a workaround solved it for me.

1. Open the generated solution in visual studio
2. Add ggml in references of the failing projects.
3. Right click ggml under References-> Properties -> Set Link Library Dependencies to True
