C++ Build in Debug Mode FAILS but in Release OK
I have inherited a C++ code where I was able to compile in DEBUG mode before.
During this time, I only had Visual C+ 6.0 installed in the workstation.
Recently, I had to install Visual Studio.NET 2003 in the same workstation to work on another app.
Now when I accessed this same C++ code, I am getting what seems to be a linking error when compiled in DEBUG mode. More puzzling for me is that same code goes through compiling it in RELEASE mode.
Having searched the net, nothing but one came up and stumps me more.
Please help.. im such a noob on c++.

This solution is only available to members.

only thing i can think of now, is that you are linking with different version of libraries,
where the debug library either lacks a function you need, or gives a conflict because 2 libs export the same function
