This is like a chicken and egg issue and I am trying to avoid having to create another compiler macro.
I have a dll, example, wcdns.cpp with a wcdns.h interface header structures and function prototype statements and an import lib statement using the comment lib pragma.
The problem is when compiling wcdns.cpp the first time, i.e. after a clean, the wcdns.lib is missing so you get a link "missing wcdns.lib" missing. One way to resolve this is to set a preprocessor macro for the dll project:
"MAKE_WCDNS"
and then wrap this around the #pragma in wcdns.h
#ifndef MAKE_WCDNS
# ifdef _WIN64
# pragma comment(lib,"wcdns64.lib")
# else
# pragma comment(lib,"wcdns.lib")
# endif
#endif
Now other projects can use the wcdns.h and the main wcdns.cpp compile/link won't barf.
My question, I have to repeat this for multiple DLLs, is there a built in macro that is set that will signal the DLL is being created? Of course, I can add the wcdns.lib to all the other projects link setup, but I have to many project configurations, I just want to deal with the main wcdns.cpp and not worry about other projects.
Is there another technique?
Thanks
