(without looking at the actual code :-P):
LIBRARY should match the name of the DLL file. LIBECPGD is the debugging
version, which is the one linked against the debugging version of the
runtime. It needs to exist in any case where CRT pointers (FILE*,
va_args, things like that) is passed between DLLs. If one is linked
against release and one against debug, a crash will occur, so to build
you need to have a debug-linked version of the DLL as well.
Wow. That turned into quite a messy explanation, I hope it's readable :)
