How to run a debug app linked against a release binary

**rajji_saini** · 24th February 2011, 19:37

Hi ,

I have created a library in release mode and I want to be able to use it in an app that is built in debug mode. Every time I run the app it crashes.

Is it possible to achieve that??
If Yes, Could you please suggest me how could I implement that ???

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Raj

u can use the library with your debug app. What is the crash?

I dont see any specific error message.
If I run it from Qt Creator ... it just crashes with error: exited with code 1.
If I double click the app ... it just doesnt do anything ... I can see in the Task Manager that it tries to start but then just goes away without any message ... Actual app never shows up here in this case.

Is there anything specific that I need to do at Library's code or configuration ????

Raj, these silent crashes usually happen when some dynamic library is missing or cannot be found by the app. If you're working with Windows, check your app with Dependency Walker. You can also open the Event Viewer to check for errors. Usually "side by side" errors will create one or more error registers there.
