3rd Party Debug Binaries

[romanlarionov]

It would be really helpful if the debug versions of the dlls included in the 3rdparty directory were included.

We are not linking our debug config against debug versions, except OpenImageIO (which is in the repo). What debug lib would you like to see?

[romanlarionov]

ohh sorry. I forgot to close. I think I actually had issues with not having some MSVC 2012 debug libraries installed.. Even though I use 2015.

Nothing wrong with your 3rd party stuff.

In case this is helpful to others, I ran into the same issue. The problem is that OpenImageIOD.dll is dynamically linked against the debug MSCV2012 runtime, i.e. MSVCP110D.dll and MSVCR110D.dll. Since rebuilding OIIO is daunting, I tried to work around the issue by manually renaming OPenImageIO.[dll/lib] to overwrite OpenImageIOD.[dll/lib]. BaikalStandalone.exe now starts but I ran into other issues ("bad allocation" at start-up).

Install VS 2012 extract MSVCP110D.DLL and MSVCR110D.DLL, place them in project as 3rd party librarys Modify CMakelists.txt to copy those files uninstall VS 2012

That's my solution

^^ Installing VS 2012 was my solution. You can't install the redistributables from the VS website because they don't include the debug version: MSVCP110D.dll.

No, this isn't a solution. You should redistribute those DLLs in your 3rdparty folder. That would be a real solution, that doesn't involve every other Windows developer bumping into that problem, wasting time trying to figure out what's wrong, then wasting an hours installing a 6-years old software. You should re-open this issue until someone commits the DLLs in the folder.

Since it sounds like you went through that trouble already, can you please commit the DLLs? If you're concerned about the legality (which IMHO you shouldn't - it's not like MS is going to sue us), you should at a minimum make sure that the Readme mentions this workaround before closing this issue. Thanks.

As further proof that installing Visual Studio 2012 isn't a solution... I tried to do so this morning, and found that no free version of VS2012 is available anymore. No "Express" or "Community Edition".

I would rather not download DLLs from shady web sites. Can anyone please commit the official DLLs in 3rdparty? Thanks a lot.

[romanlarionov]

First off, I'm not involved in this project so I'm not going to commit anything.

Second, you can totally download VS 2012 from microsoft's website: https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/older-downloads/

Edit: that's what I did fyi

[claforte]

Thank you Roman, I will try to do that.
