For me, current python3.x installed on Windows with the PSF installer 
has <installdir>/libs/ containing 3 .lib files: 
_tkinter/python3/python3x.lib

My repository debug builds result in <clonedir>/PCbuild/win32 with lots 
of files, including python3_d.lib and python3x_d.lib.  I don't know if 
including 'debug files' includes these or not.  You can check in your 
<installdir>/lib.

Is matplotlib-cpp possibly installed with its own debug build of 
python37?  Or using some other installed python on your system?
