Title: Specifying Library file directory
Post by: ironhead on June 03, 2006, 04:46:21 am

I have a DLL project and I would like to be able to specify where the library file (lib.a) should be created.  By default it creates it in the same directory as the lib.dll.  Is it possible to specify a directory, and if so, where can I find this setting?

Thanx!

Would also be nice if not only the directory, but also the name of the import lib could be specified.

Project -> Properties -> Targets (it is a tab) -> target_name -> Output filename.

I have that set to "..\bin\emergeHook.dll".  however, the import library and corresponding .def file I would prefer to have in ..\lib, not ..\bin.  Is there a way to override this behaviour?

Thanx!

Oh unfortunately you can't do that at the moment AFAIK. :(

It is in the feature requests at BerliOS.
