Thanks for answering. I wish the solution was that simple. I apologize for not explicitly mentioning it, but my project is - I think - set up correctly.
That is: - both the Debug and Release configurations mention log4cxx.lib in its Linker>Input>Additional Dependencies - both the Debug and Release configurations mention a *different* directory in Linker>General>Additional Library Directories. They are different because they point to the Debug version and the Relase version of loc4cxx respectively (apache-log4cxx-0.10.0\projects\Debug and apache-log4cxx-0.10.0\projects\Release) Of course both configurations of log4cxx were previously built with no failure (from its Visual Studio project). They were built in "DLL" mode as explained on the log4cxx web site. While doing a static library version is on my todo list, I'd rather solve the present issue first. At this point in time, I suppose the 13 missing symbols are present in the Debug version of the log4cxx.lib stub library, but not in the Release version. How can I verify this hypothesis? What could explain that? How can I fix it? Another hypothesis might be that there is yet another dependency that needs to be set in Release mode only. This seems less plausible though. And what would it be? Again, thanks for you answer. Any other idea on how I could make progress on this issue?
