I got a simple question. I read that linking debug static libraries to release executables is considered a bad thing. So I compiled the static library of TinyXML 2 in release mode. Library compiled without any errors. But when I want to link the release static library library with the release version of my example application I get the following output:

If I compile the application with the debug static TinyXML 2 library it compiles ok. Am I doing something wrong? I use C++ Builder 10.1 Berlin Update 2 Starter.
