The VC++ project files produce, AFAIK, a single library in four
different incarnations, for different purposes (single threaded,
multithreaded, with and without debug info).

BTW, isn't there any help from the BrutalChess developers or users?  I

I think the best solution is to subscribe to this BrutalChess email
list

  http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=139550

and ask there.  Since apparently all VC++ users of FreeType are on
