Re: link error in release mode with Visual Studio 2008

Hi,

The project configuration is different between debug and release. In debug
you certainly added log4cxx.lib in the field "Linker/Input/Additional
dependencies" but you have a drop-down which select the configuration, if
you switch to release, I think you don't have log4cxx.lib in "Additional
dependencies" .

Don't forget to add the directory of this lib in the field
"Linker/General/Additional Library Directories"

log4cxx.lib is not really a static lib. It's only the interface to the dll
class and functions.

I hope it help you.
