RE: [GD-General] Sharing DSP between static lib / DLL

[Peter L. <pe...@to...>]

 we do an unfortunate amount of hand-editing of DSPs. This has its own
problems, and it's certainly not an automated solution for keeping
synchronization. But at least with a text editor you can more easily look at
the whole data set that controls your build, rather than having to look into
a bunch of little dialog box fields.  Hmmm.. sounds like makefiles give all
those benefits too...  I suppose it would be best if VC++ had designed a gui
front end to -real- make so you could use either mode, as appropriate. I
haven't tried to generate a DSP from a makefile, but I thought that VC++ had
some technique for importing nmake source files. Maybe that would be worth
exploring.

Hi,

I would like to have two versions of the same library :
- a static version (simple .lib)
- a dynamic version (a .dll)

This is easy enough by creating two projects (.dsp) and #defining
appropriate tokens.

But the original DLL project has a particular source-tree (in VC++), that
seems to be saved in its DSP file. Is there a way to somehow copy that
source tree to the other DSP (from the lib version), without recreating
everything in VC++ ? More important, how to easily keep both in sync ? (the
same problem arises with project settings, if I change them in one version
(say using RTTI or not), I'd like the other version to use the same settings
automatically...)

I'm afraid it's not possible, but it's worth asking.
