Hi Felix,
Thank you for the quick response on the issue!

Thanks, Ivan! I have modified the makefiles and will commit the changes
in a few minutes to trunk (that's chicken 4, if you need this for chicken 3,
then perhaps that attached patch can be used). I can not test this right now,
so please tell me if it doesn't work.
I've looked at the patch. It seems to me now that while static library compiled with "/MT" option is ok for me it can be unconvenient for someone who uses "/MD" to compile application.
I can suggest two ways:
1. Provide both versions. One should be built with /MT and one - with /MD.
2. Provide one version and use /Zl (L-small) option. As far as I know it works pretty well since VS 2005. However, I haven't tested it by myself yet.
BTW, when will Chicken 4 become available?

Runnning "make STATCBUILD=1 ..." will build you a statically linked
compiler.
