Hi,

No, I'm working with some prep scripts that generate project solutions
for various platforms. It's all based on CMake and I just mismatched
release and debug version.

I think the main reason for my email was that I wasn't sure if I need
to put the compiler symbol ( _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 ) inside
quotation marks on Windows machines.

I have now learned that I can use the dumpbin tool to double check that.

I had an linker error complaining that _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL needs to
be set to 2 to be able to link successfully with another library.
Otherwise linking fails due to the linker directive: /FAILIFMISMATCH

Yes, that was my error.

Thanks for your and Mathias's time.
