    It's not a compile error, it's a linker error. Check your linker settings on release as compared to debug

    What libraries and files are being included for each mode (debug and release). And I don't mean #include.

    It might be in Project Options -> Linker Options or something.

    Anyway, be rest assured that it is not your code -- just the libraries you're linking it to.
