[Passwordsafe-devel] "Release" configuration won't build

[Jim.Hyslop <Jim.Hyslop@Leitch.com>]

Hi,

I've checked out the source for passwordsafe, using tag V2_0, and have
downloaded the HTML Help Workshop. After updating the include and lib paths,
the Debug build works fine, but the Release build fails. I noticed several
problems with the corelib configuration, all in Release build:

- it is set to not use MFC (Project Settings, "General" tab, "MIcrosoft
Foundation Classes" drop-list)
- It uses singled-threaded, non-DLL code (Project Settings, "C/C++" tab,
"Code Generation" category, "Use Run-time Library")
- The include path does not include the HTML Help path

Any one of these mis-configurations is enough to cause the Release build to
fail.

This leads me to wonder - how did you build and test the binary that is
available for download?
