Visual Studio does not allow you to mix debuggable code and
non-debuggable code, e.g. /MT and /MTd. The libraries you downloaded
were compiled with /MT, so you cannot link against them if any of your
code is compiled with /MTd. It may be possible now to compile and link
when ignoring libcmt.lib, but you may find later on that other code
requires it.

I finally downloaded the dependencies and created my own makefiles for
them. Because I have my own build script and my own conventions (e.g. I
use static linking for security and the library name is always the same
regardless of compilation flags), they are not compatible with the
shipped versions. I just have to live with that.

I don't have a better answer for you. I've been fighting this problem
for years. This is the way Microsoft has chosen to do things. I could
send you the makefiles I use for curl, zlib and ssh as examples, but you
would be on your own after that.
