Two issues: 1. On the build window I got: [quote] link.exe -lib @C:\Users\Igor\AppData\Local\Temp\nm4696.tmp rc.exe /l 0x409 /fo".\Release\libpq.res" libpq-dist.rc Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Resource Compiler Version 6.1.7600.16385 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

However, it looks like they are Release mode. Is there a way to build a Debug version of the libraries? I'm building my app in Debug mode right now and prefer not to mix the libraries. Especially since I know Debug and Release version with MSVC link to a different run-time.
