Just downloaded this and ran a release build in VS2012 and it failed as it could not find chipmunk.h

Turns out the Release build for the libcocos2d project is missing
$(ProjectDir)…in Additional Include Directories.

The linker dependencies at HelloCpp and HelloLua Release build lack of libchipmunk.lib
