Release-mode plugin builds link against Debug libraries

[ArslanGapizov]

1. Cloned OSVR-Core repository.

2. Installed CMake 3.9.0-rc3.

3. Downloaded OSVR-Core-Snapshot-v0.6-2080-g8a0429a4-build282-vs12-64bit and run add_sdk_to_registry.cmd

4. Installed OSVR-Runtime-v0.6-2080-g8a0429a4-build377-win-64bit

5. Downloaded boost_1_64_0-msvc-14.1-64 and installed

6. Went to OSVR-Core/examples/plugin/selfcontained

D:\develop\OSVR-Core\examples\plugin\selfcontained>mkdir build
D:\develop\OSVR-Core\examples\plugin\selfcontained>cd build
D:\develop\OSVR-Core\examples\plugin\selfcontained\build>cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" ..

7. Opened .sln in build with Visual Studio 2015 and builded it.

8. Copied com_osvr_example_selfcontained.dll from build\bin\osvr-plugins-0\Release and pasted it in OSVR\Runtime\bin
9. Started osvr_server.exe and it failed to load plugin:

Hi @ArslanGapizov , It looks like the plugin is not loading because you're building the plugin with VS 2015 against OSVR-Core that was built with VS 2013. I would either build it VS 2013 against the same SDK, or build entire OSVR-Core with VS 2015 and then you can use it to build all new plugins.

Let me know if you have have any more questions. -Georgiy

Thanks for reply, it works. Also I had to change "Release" build to "RelWithDebInfo".

It's actually just the config (release vs relwithdebinfo) not the version of VS that's the issue here, FWIW. Thanks for finding this - I just re-found it yesterday, sorry I hadn't seen your issue earlier.
