how to compile in debug mode

[tang1485]

I compile in debug mode in VS2019, Win10. all configures are in debug mode when configure cmake-gui. FBXSDK is debug version lib.

but it seems Alembic from Alembic (from Maya 2020 Update 2 DevKit) only contains release libs. How to get Debug version Alembic? Should I compile Alembic from https://github.com/alembic/alembic? Then how to organize the catalogue? Which version of Alembic (from Maya 2020 Update 2 DevKit) is?

The compile error is:

BL: I have not tried to compile it in debug mode. If you want to do so, I believe you will need to compile Alembic yourself. It could be a little bit complicated because some third party libs for Alembic are Linux-originated. The Alembic lib from Maya's SDK was compiled by Autodesk. You will need to recompile it from ILM's source code: https://github.com/alembic/alembic

However, I do not see many reasons to do so because watching Eigen's matrices are quite inconvenient.

tang1485: Currently, I debug with the release build follow the link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/how-to-debug-a-release-build?view=msvc-160 . It seems OK for me, currently. I will later build the debug version of Alembic.

I met the same problem, and I solved it by change DemBonesCmd's code generation->Runtime Library into Multi-threaded DLL(/MD)
