Compiling Python to a static lib and using pythoncore.lib

I'm trying to build Python 2.7 as a static single .lib file.

I've already made the following changes to the Python source code:

Change to "Release" mode.
Change all DLL projects to Static library (.lib) and set runtime library to /MT
Add preprocessor definition Py_NO_ENABLE_SHARED to python and pythoncore
I've managed to compile the pythoncore project to pythoncore.lib (about 11mb size), but when trying to compile the python project i get the following linking errors:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __Py_ActivateActCtx referenced in function __PyImport_GetDynLoadFunc C:\Python-2.7.3_Source\PCbuild\pythoncore.lib(dynload_win.obj) error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __Py_DeactivateActCtx referenced in function __PyImport_GetDynLoadFunc C:\Python-2.7.3_Source\PCbuild\pythoncore.lib(dynload_win.obj) error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __Py_hgidentifier referenced in function __PySys_Init C:\Python-2.7.3_Source\PCbuild\pythoncore.lib(sysmodule.obj) error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __Py_hgversion referenced in function __PySys_Init C:\Python-2.7.3_Source\PCbuild\pythoncore.lib(sysmodule.obj) error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _Py_GetBuildInfo referenced in function _Py_GetVersion C:\Python-2.7.3_Source\PCbuild\pythoncore.lib(getversion.obj)

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
