Subject: Re: Release Build dependency on debug rt in vs7.1

The pre-built pthreadVC2.dll is built using nmake and the Makefile 
provided (the actual commandline would have been "nmake clean 
VC-inlined"). I'm guessing the project file isn't inlining, which could 
account for the larger size for the pre-built dll.

For comparison with the project build, if you build with "nmake" as 
above you should find that the compile options are:-

/O2 /Ob2 /W3 /MD /nologo /I. /D_WIN32_WINNT=0x400 /DHAVE_CONFIG_H /DPTW32_BUILD_INLINED


Although there is a project file included in the sources it was 
contributed and is not otherwise maintained. I use the commandline tools 
for all building and testing of the dll because it makes the release 
process more consistent across the different build environments.

While pthreadVC2.dll builds without errors or warnings, my application, also built in Release as part of the same solution, complains if the VS7.1 RT Debug DLL msvcr71d.dll is not present.
