[Bf-committers] Windows Debug Build (possible with free tools?)

[Campbell Barton]

@Sergey, good to see they added support but we need to use release
builds. From looking in the source I could only find msvc2008 project
files.

@Nathan,
This is really not obvious stuff ( == magic :-) )
-- Build blender fine with GCC --> Start blender errors out with "The
application failed to initialize properly (0xc9159992)." --> Install
MSVC2008 and it works!

It would have saved me a lot of hassle if it said "MSVC2008 run time
missing" or just a library name, its still mysterious what actually is
needed, assume its some DLL

When people in IRC ask how to build blender, its nice to be able to
give a concise answer & document weirdo problems like this one so new
devs aren't confronted with them.
