SDK Notes: Coin-@VERSION@


Feature Notes:


Two Coin Libraries?

If you install the Binary SDK, you will find that it includes two builds of the Coin library:
  1. shared release (coin@COIN_MAJOR_VERSION@.lib w/coin@COIN_MAJOR_VERSION@.dll)
    (default configuration)
  2. shared debug (coin@COIN_MAJOR_VERSION@d.lib w/coin@COIN_MAJOR_VERSION@d.dll)
    (configuration name: debug)

coin@COIN_MAJOR_VERSION@.lib has been linked with the multithread dynamic C library (msvcrt.dll - the /MD compiler option) and was compiled without debug tests and symbol information.

coin@COIN_MAJOR_VERSION@d.lib has been linked with the multithread dynamic debug C library (msvcrtd.dll) and was compiled with debug tests and symbol information.

When using Cygwin (or another Bourne shell for MS Windows), you can run the coin-config script with the option --alternate=<configuration-name> to decide which Coin configuration to retrieve information for.
