Have linker generate proper PDB for windows build #2274
Conversation
Link.exe requires /DEBUG to properly generate a full pdb file on release builds.
|
FYI: Here is the relevant Microsoft document on the subject. Without /DEBUG, a PBD file is built for libcurl.dll but Visual Studio complains there are no symbols for it when debugging and I can see its only a few 10s of KBs in size, not a few MBs. |

Thanks! |

Note that this fixes only one of the three different build mechanisms...... |
|
So the same issue exists on the others? Even if it does, accepting a fix that corrects a problem still seems the right thing to do even if there are other places with problems around... |
|
Are the two others the projects folder and cmake? I can look into them over the course of the week. |

thanks @amarcionek I don't speak Cmake well enough to look (plus my life is a bit busy). Very much appreciated on behalf of this windows user |
