Not linker, but librarian (lib.exe). And what do you mean by "wrong directory"? The absolute .pdb file path stored in each .obj file (and the .lib file in static builds is the archive of the .obj files), so .pdb file will be found by linker if you don't move it. But if you copied the .lib file from the %BUILDDIR%/lib directory to another computer and build some project, which is uses that library, you need also copy the corresponding vcx0.pdb file from the %BUILDDIR%/src directory. This is for 4.2.0. In 4.2.x you still need copy the corresponding .pdb file, but in this case from the directory where the .lib file is located and the name of the .pdb file coincide with the name of .lib file. > > If they really use a "debug" build, that's a different > story, you want > > those to use /O- no-optimization flags so that single > stepping is not > > half as confusing ;-) > > I'm pretty sure we do that, right Farid? Yes. Farid.
