2.4 Using Rogue Wave Static Libraries with MSVC

Static builds on Microsoft Visual C++ were changed to use the runtime library options /MD or /MDd, except with single-threaded builds, which continue to use /ML or /MLd. This decision was necessary to accommodate user needs and third-party library requirements. As a result, the Rogue Wave static libraries, and applications built with them, are now dependent on the Microsoft C Runtime Library DLLs (MSVCRT.DLL for release-mode, and MSVCRTD.DLL for debug-mode).

If you are upgrading from Rogue Wave products that used the Microsoft static runtime libraries, you must switch to the DLL runtime libraries. You can use one of the following methods:

• If you work in the Visual Studio environment, choose Project | Settings..., click the C++ tab of the settings window, choose Code Generation from the Category drop-down box, and choose Multithreaded DLL or Debug Multithreaded DLL, for release or debug mode builds, respectively.

• If you invoke the compiler directly (for example, through a makefile), replace the /ML and /MT flags with /MD for release mode builds, or replace the /MLd and /MTd flags with /MDd for debug mode builds.
