VLC 1.1.5 with Visual Studio 2010 - Cover.dll issue

[kamal]

Dear All,

We are facing an issue while trying to compile and run the VLC code in release mode using VS.NET 2010 but, it works fine in debug mode. After some many settings changed, we were able to compile the code in the Release mode.

Details

VLC 1.1.5 source code buildable in Visual Studio 2010 is working fine for streaming and recording in debug mode. The same code when we try in release mode, it gives a run-time error saying “cover.dll is missing from your computer”.

In the package of VLC 1.1.5 source code, there is a cover.dll placed inside debug folder and which works fine for debug mode as well. I am using same cover.dll for release mode, but it is giving another run-time error: “the procedure entry point strtof could not be located in the dynamic link library cover.dll”.
I would like to know is this an issue with Mixtures of DLLs for debug/release being used at runtime; i.e, the cover.dll will not work in release mode at all? Or some other thing causing the failure? If issue is with cover.dll, then where we can get the dll which will work in release mode? Else, it will be great if we can get the project which creates the cover.dll.


Thanks in Advance,

You are compiling all VLC with VS2010 ?

Yes.

Will be there any issues if we do so?

Please help.

VLC should not be compiled with VS2010. It doesn't even compile...
