Release mode stand alone build?

[acidsEcho]

I have a project in the works am using the AQtime profiler to monitor performance and memory usage. My problem is that AQtime launches the compiled EXE from the output directory instead of actively monitoring the debug instance.

That would be OK, except the generated .exe's fail at start up. I have tried debug and release mode. Both build error free and run instances through visual studio, but when I try to start their executables from the output directory they crash instantly.

my linkers for release mode are:
sfml-system-s.lib sfml-graphics-s.lib sfml-window-s.lib sfml-audio-s.lib
and my preprocessor definitions are:
SFML-DYNAMIC;WIN32;NDEBUG;_CONSOLE
All of the libraries have been placed in the release output folder. Like I said, it builds fine when an instance is run through VS2008.

my linkers for debug are:
sfml-system-d.lib sfml-graphics-d.lib sfml-window-d.lib sfml-audio-d.lib
Again, runs great through VS, but not on its own.

Here is the information that AQtime is giving me at when the crash occurs with both Debug and Release .exe's:

Anyone have any idea whats going on here?

Are you sure that the working directory is ok?

[dunce]

my linkers for release mode are:
sfml-system-s.lib sfml-graphics-s.lib sfml-window-s.lib sfml-audio-s.lib
and my preprocessor definitions are:
SFML-DYNAMIC;WIN32;NDEBUG;_CONSOLE

It seems that you are linking to static libraries but have SFML-DYNAMIC defined.

Yeah, I tried both static and dynamic to the same result. But I discovered my problem. The assets and XML I am using are in the project directory, but the solution outputs the exe's to their own directory. If I copy art, music and xml to the debug and release folders then it works fine.

For some reason all those DLL and openGL exceptions had me thinking I had a much more complicated problem than that.
