Louis,

There are indeed some issues with linking against the DLL version of OGR
and using some of the style related classes.  I am a bit uncertain what
the exact problem is, but if you can list your link errors, and provide
a smallish example program that demonstrates the problem I will try and fix
it.  I have run into a similar problem with MapServer but never succeeded in
resolve it.

Note, the problem can be worked around by linking against static versions of
OGR but if possible i would prefer to just fix the base problem.

Best regards,
