LIBC.lib(crt0dat.obj) : error LNK2005: _exit already defined in MSVCRT.lib(MSVCR90.dll)

I am getting tons of errors like the one above because library A needs LIBC.lib while library B needs MSVCRT.dll. If I use /NODEFAULTLIB:lib, one of the libraries fails to link. Is there an easy way to make them play nice with each other? Like some command line option that forces both libraries to use MSVCRT.lib for common functions while only resorting to LIBC.lib for functions unavailable in MSVCRT.lib?

Ah never mind. One of the libraries I was using was an opensource one. Just put all the source files of that library into my VC++ 2008 project and it compiled without errors. Sweet sweet opensource

Seems like one library was compiled with "multithreaded" (static linking to C runtime) and another was with "multithreaded DLL" (dynamic linking to C runtime via msvcr90.dll/msvcp90.dll). All of them have to match.
