Title: Bitcoin on Windows using Boost Debug Libraries? Post by: phelix on July 18, 2013, 04:54:37 PM Is there a reason Bitcoin is using boost debug libraries on windows?
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/makefile.mingw Code: BOOST_SUFFIX?=-mgw46-mt-sd-1_52 Linux makefile uses non debug libraries. Non debug seems to work fine, too: Code: BOOST_SUFFIX?=-mgw46-mt-1_52 (These two libraries look identical to me.) Title: Re: Bitcoin on Windows using Boost Debug Libraries?

My guess is that someone was testing with debug libs and then forgot to put it back to non-debug, before committing. Or just overlooked it. But this makefile is not used for the official (gitian) builds anyway. Title: Re: Bitcoin on Windows using Boost Debug Libraries?
