GLFW: LNK2001 unresolved external symbol __imp_calloc - c++

Question

I was following this OpenGL tutorial on YouTube https://youtu.be/45MIykWJ-C4. but instead of following everything exactly, I tried to setup GLFW using premake. then I tried running with just the glfwInit() and received these errors

can anyone tell me why this happens? I tried following this tutorial before and it work for me perfectly but this time it didn't. I'm guessing this might be a problem with the OpenGL file itself, which causes it not to link properly. thanks!
