[Solved] Memory leak in svn; how to make debug libs

[Lord Delvin]

I got a leak of about 260k by just creating a RenderWindow on Linux. If you tell me how to do a debug build without completly rewriting the makefiles I can maybe fix it for you.
Thats what valgrind says:

This one is not really a leak, it's just the global OpenGL context that SFML creates to ensure that OpenGL calls can be made before the first window is created. Unfortunately, as a global it can't be safely deleted by the application (however it will be done by the OS).

Hmm okay.
