To build the program with a static lib, libcurl.lib

Question

I tried to build a stanalone program with a static lib, libcurl.lib. But I got bunch of errors.

I ever refered to the related posts on stackoverflow and libcurl homepage, unfortunately it is in vain so far.

The following is my building procedure and the error message I got.

Please comments. Thank you a lot,

1. Build curl from source code
    nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=static VC=14  ENABLE_SSPI=no ENABLE_IPV6=no ENABLE_IDN=no GEN_PDB=no DEBUG=no MACHINE=x64

2. Build main.obj CimXml.obj CimCurl.obj getpass.obj
    "cl -I.\include -DCURL_STATICLIB -EHsc -c main.cpp CimXml.cpp CimCurl.cpp getpass.cpp"

3. Build a "STATIC" library cimxml.lib  
    "lib CimXml.obj CimCurl.obj getpass.obj /out:cimxmlcurl.lib"

4. Build the alc.exe
    "cl -DCURL_STATICLIB -I.\include main.obj cimxmlcurl.lib libcurl_a.lib /link /LIBPATH:.\lib /verbose:lib /out:alc.exe"

Error Message:

When you use /nodefaultlib:MSVCRT.lib then you are just trying to hide a rather nasty build problem under the floor mat. Doesn't work, jumps up and bytes you in the rear end anyway. All code and libraries must be built with the same setting, either /MT or /MD. — Hans Passant, Nov 16 '15 at 12:01
Accoring to the Makefile.vc14 for curl-7.45, I am sure I tried the same option, /MT, for my program and libcurl but no luck as well. — codexplorer, Nov 16 '15 at 12:22
Doubtful, I don't see you use /MT in your cl.exe invocations. The default is /MD, the "always safe" selection. You are shooting your leg off by hacking these build commands by hand btw, not taking advantage of the debugging features is never not a mistake. Do this with a project in the IDE instead. — Hans Passant, Nov 16 '15 at 12:25
Unfortunately, I can't dig it out from the commands history like Linux. I just try again as below: 1. cl /MT -I.\include -DCURL_STATICLIB -EHsc -c main.cpp CimXml.cpp CimCurl.cpp getpass.cpp ; 2. lib CimXml.obj CimCurl.obj getpass.obj /out:cimxmlcurl.lib; 3. cl /MT -DCURL_STATICLIB -I.\include main.obj cimxmlcurl.lib libcurl_a.lib /link /LIBPATH:.\lib /out:alc.exe. It is the same result. — codexplorer, Nov 16 '15 at 12:31

I figure it out finally. I have to use:

"nmake RTLIBCFG=static /f Makefile.vc mode=static VC=14 ENABLE_IPV6=no ENABLE_IDN=no GEN_PDB=no DEBUG=no MACHINE=x64" in the first step

and to
compile with /MT option for every steps using "cl.exe" like Hans Passant commented.

Hopefully, this can help out people suffering in the same issue. Bby the way, I found a the website with similar solution as below, http://www.chipkin.com/building-libcurl-on-windows-with-mt-and-mtd/.

To build the program with a static lib, libcurl.lib
