This is the sort of check you should be doing in your build system. In your build script,

• if you're building for release then link against the release library.
• if you're building for debug then link against the debug library.

For instance, if you're using make:

release: $(OBJ)
    $(CC) $(CXXFLAGS_RELEASE) $(foreach LIB,$(LIBS_RELEASE),-l$(LIB))
debug: $(OBJ)
    $(CC) $(CXXFLAGS_DEBUG) $(foreach LIB,$(LIBS_DEBUG),-l$(LIB))
