This is mixing different C-runtimes. LIBC being the static one,
MSVCRT corresponds to the DLL with the same name. The later
is the right one for Gtk+ based applications on win32.

Beside building all libs with the right compiler switch (-MD) you
can avoid the link problem with: /nodefaultlib:libc.lib as told
you by the linker, e.g.:

LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib "MSVCRT" conflicts with use of other
libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library

Definitely (last time was 2002-06-24 ;-)

If you are really trying a cvs build of Dia this is the wrong 
version. Dia cvs is using Gtk2. But you would have got problems
at compile time. For the plain Dia-0.90 the version should be ok.
My Dia makefiles all use either GTK2_CFLAGS or GTK_CFLAGS to
get the right version from glib/build/win32/make.msc.

BTW: have you noticed the information provided in glib/readme.win32
and dia/readme.win32 ?

I'm using almost recent cvs 2.3.7 but this version should be fine, too.

What do you need this for ? My Dia build never linked to freetype,
don't define HAVE_FREETYPE.

You don't link Dia to Gimp, do you ?

2.4.2. using a newer version is probably ok. Last time I looked
the vanilla win32 binaries don't link with zlib and iconv which will
cause some restrictions in Dia's usage: no compressed files, no
charset conversions ...

fine.

fine.

fine.

I'm using recent cvs 2.1.x but using 2.0.3 as provided by tml
should be fine.

All fine.

Just noticed that Dia's makefile.am don't always include the
additional files required to do the win32 build (*.msc, *.def)
I'm about to fix this in cvs. The required files are available
from cvs though.
