Win32 debug version suggestion

SDL Development
1

I would recommend that the win32 debug version of the SDL library be
changed to link to the debug version of the runtime DLL.

Also it would be great if the debug version had a different name like
SDLd.dll. That way we can have both the debug and release versions
installed on the system and as part of the download package.

Does anyone agree? I can send the new project files if you are
interested.

Hmm, why you need this? Are you debbuging sdl library?

SDLd.dll. That way we can have both the debug and release versions

I don’t know- i used debug version of sdl just once and it is lot easier
just to switch dll’s, than to change whole project- set that debug version
to link with sdld.lib and release with sdl.lib

No, we (my & myself) are not interested… :wink:

These are exactly the settings I use. Very handy indeed when you do some
serious debugging in Win32. Especially if you want to switch easily between
debug & release without having to copy files around…> -----Original Message-----

Didn’t seem to get much of a response. One was against and four were for
it. I would certainly like it changed in the main SDL distribution as I
think it is the “proper” way. For those of you interested you can get my
changes for SDL 1.2 from:
