ode.lib is a static library. When you compile your program, it puts
the entirety of the library inside your program. DirectX, Zlib, OpenGL
are all dynamic link libraries. When your program is compiled, all
that is put into your executable is the location where the library is
meant to be. It's possible to compile ode as a dll - that would keep
your executeable the same size, but you'd have to have the file
ode.dll in your program directory for it to work.
