The conflict seems to be between libcmt.lib and msvcrt.lib and not in 
antlr.lib, judging from the error messages you posted.

libcmt.lib is the static multithreaded C runtime, msvcrt.lib is the import 
library for the dynamic multithreaded C runtime in msvcr90.dll. So they are 
serving the same purpose and you cannot link to both of them.
