CRT Library Blues

CRT libraries (Cruntime) are available in 3 distinct flavas in Win32 SDK.

One single-threaded and two multi-threaded variants.

• libc.lib, statically linked simplicity for single-threaded programs
• libcmt.lib, multithreaded cousin
• crtdll.lib, belle of the ball, an import library for CRTDLL.DLL (part of NT) that supports multi-threaded programs.

CRT redist package can be downloaded here, which in addition to CRT and Std C++ runtime components, also includes stuff for OpenMP (shared-memory parallel programming)and MSDIA.
