Of course:
At first the linker throws errors kind of "already defined in MSVCRTD.lib", then there is
a unresolved external symbol. Because of the german output of my Visual Studio I
don't just copy 'n' paste in this mail ;)

The linker itself suggests to exclude the standart libs ("/NODEFAULTLIB: libname"-
switch), and I have read about it in the mailing list, too. Since most of the linker errors
point on MSVCRTD.lib, I just exclude this standart C runtime lib with the
/nodefault:xxx switch. Curiously it's linking only with a few warnings and the app is
running fine. Btw, my application is MFC-based, therefore I needn't the C runtime
functions directly. Until now.

The problem is the excluded MSVCRTD.lib. All the runtime functions, incl. math.h, are
located in this lib. And I am not able to use any math function.

I know the examples...and I don't have any problem with the use of cURL. I think you
do a great job, it is easy to use.
I need particular support in my case of combining a MFC app with libcurl, especially
linking hints.
