Getting Started: Visual Studio Build Configurations

The defaults are:

• Debug: multithreaded, statically linked with LIBC, debug (i.e. the /MTd flag).
• Release: multithreaded, dynamically linked with MSVCRT, release (i.e. the /MD flag).

For more precise control use:

• Debug-Static: multithreaded, statically linked with LIBC, debug (i.e. the /MTd flag).
• Debug-Dynamic: multithreaded, dynamically linked with MSVCRT, debug (i.e. the /MDd flag).
• Release-Static: multithreaded, statically linked with LIBC, release (i.e. the /MT flag).
• Release-Dynamic: multithreaded, dynamically linked with MSVCRT, release (i.e. the /MD flag).

This target naming convention will also apply to Windows Mobile targets.
