Q:
With PDFNet SDK for C++ you are delivering for different libraries:
- pdfMT11.lib Multithreaded, /MT, _MT
- pdfMTD11.lib Multithreaded, debug, /MTd, _DEBUG _MT
- pdfMD11.lib Multithreaded DLL, /MD, _MD
- pdfMDD11.lib Multithreaded DLL, debug, /MDd, _DEBUG _MD
I would like to understand them more. Can you describe their purpose
and their goal?
What libraries are you delivering with PDFNet SDK for the other
platforms (Linux, Mac OS X)?
----
A:
These libraries correspond to different versions of MS C run-time
libraries as well as their associated compiler options and
preprocessor directives.
The choice of PDFNet library would depend on the ' C/C++' > 'Code
Generation' > 'Runtime Library' setting in your application project
properties dialog:
Multithreaded, /MT, _MT -> Use pdfMT11.lib
Multithreaded, debug, /MTd, _DEBUG _MT -> Use pdfMTD11.lib
Multithreaded DLL, /MD, _MD -> Use pdfMD11.lib
Multithreaded DLL, debug, /MDd, _DEBUG _MD -> Use pdfMDD11.lib
Please note that if your application is not statically linked to the
run-time library, you will need to make sure that Visual C++ Runtime
DLL-s are present on user machines. To avoid this requirement it is
typically a better idea to statically link with the run-time. In this
case your application or DLL will not need to assume that run-time
libraries are present on client machines.
The main difference between 'debug' and 'release' versions is that
debug versions include extra code for error checking. Also debug
libraries track allocated memory and are better suited during
application debugging.
For more information on Microsoft C run-time libraries, compiler
options and preprocessor directives, please see:

or search for "C Run-Time Libraries (CRT)".
What libraries are you delivering with PDFNet SDK for the other platforms (Linux, Mac OS X)?
On other platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris) we are also delivering
static libraries for GCC compiler(s). In some cases we also offer
libraries packaged as shared object (so) files.
