Debug build configuration does not compile

[BinToss]

TODO

• Research how to link a Debug build against a static Release-type library

---

The Linker is failing a a few operations involving discord-rpc.lib.
These issues are due to the precompiled library having been compiled with incompatible arguments and parameters.

	discord-rpc	ours
_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL	0	2
RuntimeLibrary	MT_StaticRelease	MDd_DynamicDebug

Workarounds

No known workarounds.
Perhaps there are Linker options for allowing mixed link types.

Solutions

A. Only build Release builds.
B. Acquire the the source code of Discord RPC and compile for Multi-threaded Debug DLLs.
C. Acquire a debug build of the Discord RPC library.
