LNK2005 Error linking static openCV libraries with Visual Studio and QT Creator

I built the static openCV 2.3 libraries. My project currently uses the dynamic ones with no problem, but now I want to use static libs. I added the libs to my .pro file:

LIBS += "C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_calib3d231.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_contrib231.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_core231.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_features2d231.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_flann231.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_gpu231.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_haartraining_engine.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_highgui231.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_imgproc231.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_legacy231.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_ml231.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_objdetect231.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_ts231.lib" \
"C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\lib\Release\opencv_video231.lib"

And include dirs:

INCLUDEPATH += "C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\include"
INCLUDEPATH += "C:\Program Files\openCV_VS_static\opencv\build\include\opencv"

When I try to build I get these errors:

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

On CMake, when building the openCV static libraries, besides unchecking BUILD_SHARED_LIBS I also unchecked BUILD_WITH_STATIC_CRT, and that took care of that particular problem
