RE: debug libs without 'd' on the end

[George R. <gr...@us...>]

I'm a little confused as to what you're doing.  Are you building ICU with 
your own makefiles, or are you only using ICU with your makefiles?  If you 
are using ICU, you can get icuuc.lib from the lib directory on Windows. 
Both icuuc.lib and icuucd.lib are in that directory.  Only special 
packaging of ICU would change that.

I've been able to link the release libraries from a debug build of another 
tool without any problems.  I don't get the debugging information for the 
ICU libraries, but I normally don't need it for what I'm doing.

If you really want the debug version of ICU, you could try something like 
this.

!IF "$(CFG)" == "Debug" || "$(CFG)" == "debug"
ICUSUFFIX=d
!ELSE
ICUSUFFIX=
!ENDIF

SYS_LIBS.Windows_NT
        ws2_32
        pthread
        bsafe42
        icuuc$(ICUSUFFIX)
        icuin$(ICUSUFFIX)


FYI The Microsoft C run-time library follows this naming scheme too. There 
is MSVCRT.LIB and there is MSVCRTD.LIB.

We have an internal build tool and process.  Our makefiles include icu in
the following way:

SYS_LIBS.Windows_NT
ws2_32
pthread
bsafe42
icuuc
icuin

The Debug and Release builds share the makefiles.  I get a build time 
error
on not finding icuuc.lib when doing a debug build.

I am open to other suggestions.  Our including icu in the makefile in this
way goes back to ICU1.4 and the original build person no longer works 
here.

Is there a reason why you would want to do that?

Hard core ICU4C programmers, like myself, need to be able to easily switch
between debug and release builds.

The basic answer to your question is that there is no way to remove the
'd' in the name without modifying all of the project files.

Hi,

Is there a build time flag or something for ICU 2.4 to have the libraries
coming out of a Debug Windows 2000 build named icuuc.lib instead of
icuucd.lib?
