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

[Nicolas R. <nic...@fr...>]

Hi,

This is what we do here:
Let say that we have a "MyLib".

First the static library:

We have first a "MyLib.h" header which is:
including all headers of the library.
We have a "MyLibDefines.h" header which is included by all headers of
the library, and starts with:
#ifndef MYLIB_API
#define MYLIB_API
#endif
Then all public functions/classes are using MYLIB_API declaration.


The DLL project.

Only two files (usually in same directoy as MyLib)

MyLibDLL.cpp which is only doing:
#define MYLIB_API	__declspec(dllexport)
#include "MyLibDLL.h"

And MyLibDLL.h:
#ifndef MYLIB_API
#define MYLIB_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
#include "MyLib.h"


In outer project, when using the DLL, we just include "MyLibDLL.h".
When using the static lib, we include "MyLib.h"


Nicolas.

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


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
