[GD-Windows] Linker hell

[Brian H. <bri...@py...>]

So I'm trying to build a fairly large project, statically linked (no
DLLs), and so far I'm in hell.

First pass: Select all projects and use "Multithreaded Debug" library.
I get conflicts with MSVCRTD.DLL, even though it's not being explicitly
referenced by anything.  I do a DUMPBIN on the modules in question, and
they show they're that their defaultlib is MSVCRTD.LIB even though the
project is showing them as using Multithreaded Debug (LIBCMTD.LIB).
What the hell?

Second pass: Select "No default libraries" and manually specify
LIBCMTD.LIB in the libraries list.  Conflicts go away, but now I get:

LINK : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol "_malloc" imported
LINK : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol "_free" imported
LINK : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol "_memmove" imported
LINK : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol "_realloc" imported
ogg_static_local.lib(framing.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external
symbol __imp__memchr
vorbis_static_d.lib(info.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external
symbol _strdup

I'm not using the Ogg Vorbis libs directly, I'm actually compiling the
source files.

What's particularly disturbing is that suddenly it can't find strdup()
or memchr() just because I changed libs?!

Any ideas?
