Failed to compile in Release mode

[weak spire]

Hey, so I just tried to build my app in Release mode and it failed.
Im trying to build one of the ImGui examples (example_glfw_opengl3) and I'm getting these errors

1>glfw3.lib(monitor.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__strdup
1>glfw3.lib(win32_window.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__strdup
1>glfw3.lib(win32_joystick.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__strdup
1>C:\Users\Theos\Desktop\imgui-1.90.4\examples\example_glfw_opengl3\Release\example_glfw_opengl3.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

This often indicates a build mismatch

[weak spire]

what does that mean?

check the comments for a specific example in this case

[iron plank]

the glfw.lib you are linking is not meant to be linked the way you are linking everything else. Like it may be expecting the runtime to be dynamically linked but you are linking it statically.

it can also be a debug/release mismatch, a 32bit/64bit mismatch, or I think windows as an mt (multithreading?) setting

[weak spire]

for debug i have this set

release:

[iron plank]

are you linking the same .lib file for both?

[weak spire]

release:

debug:

looks the same

debug has Incremental Linking enabled tho

not sure if thats important

[iron plank]

what libraries are you linking?

(for both)

[weak spire]

u mean the Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies?

[iron plank]

probably?

[weak spire]

okey

[lofty dust]

Yes

[iron plank]

I don't actualy dev on windows

[iron plank]

can you copy that ignore

MSVCRT.lib and LIBCMT.lib are the two libraries which seem to have this symbol

[lofty dust]

Might be 32 / 64 mismatch

[iron plank]

yea that was my initial guess a build mismatch of some kind

[lofty dust]

Did you download WIN64 version?

[iron plank]

this thinks it's how the GLFW lib was built and a dynamic vs. static runtime linkage

[weak spire]

coppied and im getting the same errors

[weak spire]

win64 version of what?

[lofty dust]

Glfw

[weak spire]

im using the one from examples

i guess they are using win32 version

[lofty dust]

There are prebuilt binaries on their website, both x86 and x86_64 version

[weak spire]

okay, i switched to Release Win32 and it works

[lofty dust]

So you downloaded x86 version

[iron plank]

good call

[weak spire]

thanks for help :)
