|Option|Description|

|**/MD**|Causes the application to use the multithread-specific and DLL-specific version of the run-time library. Defines `_MT` and `_DLL` and causes the compiler to place the library name MSVCRT.lib into the .obj file.<br /><br /> Applications compiled with this option are statically linked to MSVCRT.lib. This library provides a layer of code that enables the linker to resolve external references. The actual working code is contained in MSVCR*versionnumber*.DLL, which must be available at run time to applications linked with MSVCRT.lib.|
