[Bf-committers] Blender 2.45 Release MSVCR71.DLL problem?

[Timothy Baldridge]

The problem comes when mixing runtime libraries. Mixing VC and Cygwin
is a HUGE no-no, the program will crash without warning for no reason
(I've done it before). However, mixing mingw and VC *should* be okay.
I'm doing that now with a project, haven't had any issues yet.

However, I do know that Python's distutils will really complain of the
compilers don't match. I don't even think you can force a Mingw build
to load VC modules. I know you cant force a VC2003 build to load
VC2005/VC6 modules (tried that too).
