P.S. - Jens, while you're thinking about that, maybe you could let me know if this makes any sense.....

Now that my C::B update is mostly working I've tried to rebuild a project that was previously building fine with Cygwin-gcc. It still builds fine but I've noticed a subtle change with the latest C::B. The project happens to be sigc++2 and I'm building it as a DLL. With my previous version of C::B I used to get 3 x outputted target files, namely:- libsigc++2.dll, libsigc++2.a and libsigc++2.def

With the upgraded C::B those last two files are now called libsigc++2.dll.a and libsigc++2.dll.def respectively. Is there any way I can put them back to their old style? I tried tweaking the settings for automatic prefix and extension generation but that didn't seem to make any difference.

Thanks koso. Unfortunately, the poster didn't say which compiler he was referring to but I'm guessing it might have been mingw. I just tried his suggestion with Cygwin gcc but it didn't work....  :(

[Edit...] Oops, I told a lie! It does actually work with Cygwin but you need to specify the full path to the required output files - otherwise the files do get created, but in the wrong folder.

I am using nightly build 5859 with Visual C++ 2008 Express.

Just out of interest cacb, - are you seeing the same problem as me (the one where Ctrl+Shift+F9 is no longer working?)
