[SDL] Unable to link in Release mode?

Quasi-misleading title, actually. [smile] I'm using VC++ Express 2005. When I set all of the proper SDL settings (as detailed on the SDL site) with RunTime Library set as "Multi-Threaded Debug DLL" it compiles, links, and runs without a hitch. However, when I set it to Release mode and set all of those settings again -- since VC++ doesn't maintain settings across build modes -- and set the RunTime Library to "Multi-Threaded DLL" (omitting the Debug, naturally) I get bonked with a slew of what appear to be STL errors:

I'm baffled. How can I build my SDL app for distribution without being in Debug mode? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Have you also added sdl.lib and sdlmain.lib to the "additional dependancies" for the release mode?
I removed those from my program and got the same errors.

All of the dependencies are included. If I remove "sdl.lib" and "sdlmain.lib" I get 7 additional linker errors. But I definitely have identical compiler/linker settings in both Debug and Release modes aside from the "Multi-Threaded Debug DLL" and "Multi-Threaded DLL" difference.

Thanks for your response, though. Any other ideas are appreciated. [smile]

I had a problem like this once. What happened was I was using a static library, that I wrote, that itself used SDL. It was using only the Multi-Threaded Debug DLL run time. I had to go into its settings to switch it to Multi-Threaded DLL for Release mode.

Are you doing anything like that?

No, I'm not. I'm using the SDL binaries I acquired straight from the libsdl website. The effort is appreciated, though. [smile]

Are you linking with /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE or /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS? Try building with console if you haven't already.

(Project Settings > Linker > System > Subsystem).

I've had lots of problems when trying to build with any system other than console. Most of said problems result from conflicts with the default libraries, and seem to kind of look like the ones you're getting. If you've ignored a specific library, also make sure to ignore its release-mode counterpart.

Hey, thanks for the reply Mushu.

I gave 'console' a shot, and produced the same errors that I had.

I'm having the same sort of problem (switching to from debug dll to multi-threaded dll), though I'm producing different errors.

Try ignoring msvcrt.lib and linking in libcmt.lib?
