Well, this "Debug" vs. "Release" thing is in my opinion a smokescreen presented by Visual Studio, it really makes it hard to understand what is *really* going on... It's important to know how to use link -dump -imports foo.exe from the command line to see what DLLs an exe (or a dll) *really* uses. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
