VS2015 Unable to build in Debug mode

[kendallb]

Can't seem to find anything about this but when I loaded the project into VS2015 and did a full build, it fails on CefShare.Core with a bunch of errors like this:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error LNK2038 mismatch detected for '_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL': value '0' doesn't match value '2' in AssemblyInfo.obj CefSharp.Core C:\src\git\CefSharp\CefSharp.Core\libcef_dll_wrapper.lib(cef_stream_resource_handler.obj) 1
Error LNK2038 mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MD_DynamicRelease' doesn't match value 'MDd_DynamicDebug' in AssemblyInfo.obj CefSharp.Core C:\src\git\CefSharp\CefSharp.Core\libcef_dll_wrapper.lib(cef_stream_resource_handler.obj) 1

Doing a Google search I found this article which indicates that this is caused by linking debug binaries with release ones for the C++ code, so I changed to release mode and rebuilt and it worked fine.

Is there some reason the project does not compile properly in debug mode and how do we fix it?

Official releases are made using VS2013, so it's rare that I use VS2015 for development.

I can confirm there is a problem using VS2015 Update 2, about all I have time for at the moment.

Ok thanks. I tried running the samples built with VS2015 and they didn't seem to run properly either, so something is not building right. I don't have VS2013 installed anymore :(

You can use the https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp.MinimalExample for testing

Yep, I have been using that.

When cmake generates libcef_dll_wrapper.vcxproj for VS2015 it's incorrectly setting RuntimeLibrary

<RuntimeLibrary>MultiThreadedDLL</RuntimeLibrary>

Should be

<RuntimeLibrary>MultiThreadedDebugDLL</RuntimeLibrary>

Upgrading to newer cmake had no effect. build.ps can be updated to work around the problem.

Changes are required to https://github.com/cefsharp/cef-binary/blob/master/build.ps1#L226

Would be best fixed in CEF source, though that would take some time before the changes were merged I'm sure.

Relevant changes to CEF were https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/commits/b52741d23676a0b6c589ce3aedb2430a21b51c94

Can likely just disable sandbox and our builds will work as expected.

Changes will take effect soon as I upload the next set of packages - should be today sometime.

master has been updated.

Awesome
