Hi Hugo,
This problem is unrelated to ITK, it is just the
way in which VC++ manages versions.
When you compile your code, VC++ will put it in
a different directory depending on what of build
mode you are using.
If you look at the binary directory you will find
subdirectories (created by VC++) with names like
Release
Debug
RelMinSize
....and so on.
The problem with this is that when you create
a library in Debug mode, and try to use use it
from a program that you are building in Release
mode, the link process of your program will look
for the library in the directory where no library
has been created.
You have basically two options:
1) After building your library move it to a
standard place. like /home/hugo/lib
of c:\myFiles\lib
then add this directory to the CMakeList file
of your program
or
2) Build everything for Debug, (libraries and
executable) or everything for Release.
Never mix compilation modes.
Note that (2) is the right way to do things.
When you mix compilation modes, you may find
errors at run time since some basic structures
of C++ change of size when created in debug mode.
So: Please don't mix compilation modes.
Regards,
Luis
