Here''s the problem: i''m building Lua in release mode as a static lib, then i try to use it in my project but i cant compile *that* project in debug mode.. i''m aware that i''ll need both debug *and* release libs.. how do big apis like GL and DX get away with only using one lib for both? i''m getting errors out the wazoo about conflicting libraries here... (and just because i know people are going to ask for it, here are the errors

Do NOT let Dr. Mario touch your genitals. He is not a real doctor!

you will need 2 different libs (one for release and one for debug)

to get rid of those error messages you need to set the linker options (link with static lib, static debug lib, dll, mt dll,...) to exactly the same

also from the linker output you can see which libs are conflicting:
libcd.lib: is the standard debug lib (most likely from your app)
MSVCRT.lib: is the multithreaded dll without debug (the lua lib)

(just guessing at the moment, i dont have a vc version available at the moment)


as for how things like ogl or dx do it: (guessing)
as they are just interfaces to the hardware, they will most likely not need any stuff from the standard c library --> no conflicts from there as they wont even linkt to them for building the lib.

how would i go about resolving this conflict? just /NODEFAULTLIB it out in the linker options? would that have any detrimental effects further down the road? i figure they included it for a reason, and i dont know enough about what each lib is for to drop the axe

either set the linker settings of your lua lib to those of you project, or those of your project to those of the lib (the former is recommended)

i dont know the name of the setting right now (not sitting on my pc right now) but i could look into it if you dont get it


[edit]
actually its in
project->settings->c/c++->code generation->runtime library
(hope its correct for the english version cos i just got the german one )
