Moreoever I searched for the error error LNK2038: mismatch detected for and I found out this question:
It is saying I am compiling one project with debug mode,
but I could not find out how to configure it to build both
on release mode or in debug mode.
Resumely these are the command lines used:
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" ../
devenv YAML_CPP.sln /Build
cl.exe /I. /I./libraries/yaml-cpp/include libraries/yaml-cpp/bin_msvs/Debug/libyaml-cppmdd.lib /EHsc /Femain.exe main.cpp
How would be to put them to release or debug mode?
The yaml-cpp documentation does not mention how to do it. I tried to use this other answer:
But when I ran vs.bat cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" ../ outputting:
$ vs.bat cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" ../
-- Configuring done

CMake Warning:
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

It seems not to be recognizing the mentioned variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE on that answer. Was also opened an issue on: https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/issues/483
Even after the @flyx's answer I got a new error:

MSVCRT.lib(_chandler4gs_.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __except_handler4_common referenced in function __except_handler4
main.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
But after I searched error LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MD_DynamicRelease' doesn't match value 'MT_StaticRelease', I found out LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MT_StaticRelease' doesn't match value 'MD_DynamicRelease' in file.obj, therefore I added /MD (desc) to my main's the command line, resulting on this full version steps:
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" ../
devenv YAML_CPP.sln /Build Release
cl.exe /I. /I./libraries/yaml-cpp/include libraries/yaml-cpp/bin_msvs/Debug/libyaml-cppmdd.lib /EHsc /MD /Femain.exe main.cpp
Now it is finally compiling fine.
Visual Studio is a CMake target which allows multiple configurations (you can have both a Debug, a Release and several other build configurations in a Visual Studio project). Therefore, CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is ignored when generating the *.sln file.
Instead, you should give the configuration when invoking the compiler, i.e.
vs.bat devenv YAML_CPP.sln /build Debug
or
vs.bat devenv YAML_CPP.sln /build Release
It seems strange that your command even works given that the configuration name is not optional according to the documentation.
Since you compile your main.cpp without debug options, you should compile yaml-cpp with Release configuration.
In general, it would be a good idea to generate a Solution file for your code with CMAKE – you can then include the yaml-cpp CMAKE file and are guaranteed that everything compiles with the same switches.
