Linker errors when building DLL dependent on static lib

Here is a preface - I have a C++ + Qt application, it consists of several projects and we are using MSVC 2012 to build it. Now, I'm implementing build scripts to start deploying build server. So, I started creating Qt .pro files for each and every project we have.

Now the problem - we use Crypto++ library(http://www.cryptopp.com/) which we build from source code and the output is static lib, and we have DLL which depends on cryptlib.lib.

I wrote .pro file for Cryptlib and I'm able to build it using qmake/jom

@ QT -= core gui
QMAKE_CFLAGS += /Zc:wchar_t

TEMPLATE = lib
TARGET   = cryptlib
    
Release:DESTDIR = ./Release
Debug:DESTDIR   = ./Debug

CONFIG  += staticlib precompile_header
DEFINES += _USING_V110_SDK71_ WINVER=0x0501 WIN32 _WINDOWS _MBCS
DEFINES -= UNICODE

PRECOMPILED_HEADER = pch.h
DEPENDPATH += .

include(CryptoPP.pri)@

I wrote .pro file for my DLL - it compiles fine, but I'm getting linker errors on linkage phase. The most interesting thing is that when I build cryptlib with MSVC2012 and then build DLL with qmake - then it link OK.

What could be wrong? I checked all proj settings in MSVC projects and applied in my pro files. I checked names mangling in both libs built with MSVC and QT - mangled names look the same. Now I got stuck
