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

[Grills, J. <jg...@so...>]

I wrote a perl script that scans some project setting files and searches for
source files, and generates a DSP from that.  It works well for us.  We can
change a setting (such as RTTI) in one place, and regenerate all the DSPs in
seconds.

 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.

Pierre
