Hmm this needs no change. But this is the important part:
- -QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE    = -O2 -MD

- -QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO += -O2 -MD -Zi

- -QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG      = -Zi -MDd

+QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE    = -O2 -MT

+QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO += -O2 -MT -Zi

+QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG      = -Zi -MTd
