When compiling a win32 console project with GLFW in Visual Studio 2010 SP1, I am getting the following warning for debug configuration:
Warnung 1 warning LNK4099: PDB "vc100.pdb" wurde nicht mit "GLFW.lib(enable.obj)" oder an "C:\path-to-project with-spaces\World\Debug\vc100.pdb" gefunden; Objekt wird verknüpft, als ob keine Debuginformationen vorhanden wären. C:\path-to-project with-spaces\World\World\GLFW.lib(enable.obj) World
13 more for GLFW.lib(enable.obj), GLFW.lib(glext.obj), GLFW.lib(image.obj), GLFW.lib(init.obj), GLFW.lib(input.obj), GLFW.lib(stream.obj), GLFW.lib(tga.obj), GLFW.lib(win32_enable.obj), GLFW.lib(win32_fullscreen.obj), GLFW.lib(win32_glext.obj), GLFW.lib(win32_init.obj), GLFW.lib(win32_time.obj), GLFW.lib(win32_window.obj), GLFW.lib(window.obj)
And last but not least:
Fehler 15 error LNK1104: Datei "C:\path-to-project with-spaces\World\Debug\World.exe" kann nicht geöffnet werden. C:\path-to-project with-spaces\World\World\LINK World
The release configuration is compiling. This is probably still not enough information for solving my problem, but I would appreciate an explanation for why this can happen.
I was already using the right lib for debug configuration but was not only linking to GLFW.lib but also to GLFWDLL.lib. You can either compile GLFW into you executeable by using GLFW.lib or use a DLL by linking to GLFWDLL.lib. I accidentally did both.
