Conditionals in a DEF file?
in [Visual C]
|
From: Vincent Fatica on 3 Jun 2010 12:10 Is it possible to put a conditional statement in a DEF file? If so, please give tips. I'd like the same def file to specify "NAME FOO.DLL" or "NAME FOO64.DLL" depending on the target of the build. If there's another way to avoid maintaining two DEF files, that would be OK. Thanks. -- - Vince

Taken from the MSDN documentation of NAME: "An equivalent way to specify an output file name is with the /OUT linker option" Dave

'Tis so. Works nicely. Thanks. [I wasted 5 minutes on a pre-build batch file to sed foo.def into foo64.def ... completely unnecessary.] -- - Vince |
