/MT vs /MD pre-built libraries

[ThibaultDECO]

It would be worth mentioning in the documentation (see here) that MSVC pre-built libraries are built with Multi-threaded (/MT) and not with Multi-threaded DLL (/MD). I'm a beginner in C++ and this got me into a bit of trouble.

I must confess that I don't know what the difference is.

Would you mind submitting a PR to explain this in the documentation? The documentation has its own repository: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium-doc

@Teebonne I wonder if this is only true for the ltcg and static builds? I've linked against the pre-built dynamic DLL without any trouble, and my project is built with /MD. For example I currently link against libsodium\x64\Release\v142\dynamic\libsodium.lib and then copy the same folder's libsodium.dll next to my EXE before running it.

The ltcg and static libs seem to be built with /MT as you describe.
