I am trying to configure Visual Studio 2010, to add a Debug configuration.

Configuration Manager->either by starting in the active solution configuration:, or Project, added New, created a New configuration, copied from Debug… (if solution, either created new configuration, or just used Debug and added new project configuration)…

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kwybya3w.aspx

Build -> errors that suggest a mix of Debug and Release:

defaultlib ‘LIBCMT’ conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library -> easy to fix

mismatch detected for ‘_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL’: value ‘2’ doesn’t match value ‘0’ -> don’t know how to fix.

I tried to manually change the project file… But I don’t know how to fix this. resultant configuration ?

What is more, I can’t just fix this specific instance – there will be lots and lots of situations where this situation will happen again, so, what am I doing wrong ?

Note: I need a DEBUG configuration in order to be able to do unit testing (c++), and be able to separate building executables from unit tests.

    I can set the configuration options in a property sheet, where I can add things like

    <ItemDefinitionGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'DebugCopy'">
    <ClCompile>
      <PreprocessorDefinitions>_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL=2;%(PreprocessorDefinitions)</PreprocessorDefinitions>
    </ClCompile>
  </ItemDefinitionGroup>

    (as well as any other options I require that may not be set by default).

    It is a way to override some global settings that have been imposed on all projects I am using, which have caused the bug I had (mostly because I wasn’t aware of those settings).
