Re: [Boost-users] Problem with building release mode, trying to link in debug library

I'm trying to build my application in release mode using VC8 and failing with a link error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc80-mt-gd-1_34_1.lib'

I am including the non-debug version of the thread library and don't want the debug version in there (because that's going to cause other link errors) but have no idea how the debug version is being included in the link.

Apologies if this is a little off topic but has anyone had this problem or got any suggestions?

My guess is that _DEBUG is defined for some reason, but the library selection logic is in boost/config/auto_link.hpp, which code generation options are you using? HTH, John.
