Hello,
Is there a way to get Visual Studio 2003 look to one directory for
debug version dlls when set to DEBUG and then to another directory
where I store the release version of a dll when set to RELEASE?
My current project uses about 8 dlls I've written in the past, but I
don't want to keep re-compiling them for debug/release depending on
whether I'm compiling the current project for debug/release.
Thanks in advance,
Tom 3 1998
Hi TBass,
Is there a way to get Visual Studio 2003 look to one directory for
debug version dlls when set to DEBUG and then to another directory
where I store the release version of a dll when set to RELEASE?
My current project uses about 8 dlls I've written in the past, but I
don't want to keep re-compiling them for debug/release depending on
whether I'm compiling the current project for debug/release.
What I do in this situation is to output all release modules which I need
together in one release directory and the same for the debug versions. The
intermediate output files of each project go into a sub directory of the
global release/debug directory named like the project.
So I have an output drive which I name X and there you find this file
structure
x:\release
// here I have *.dll, *.lib, *.exe and *.pdb files of release builds
X:\release\Proj 1
// all project output of Proj1
X:\release\Proj 2
// all project output of Proj1 and so on
X:\debug
// here I have *.dll, *.lib, *.exe and *.pdb files of debug builds
X:\debug\Proj
// Proj1 output and so on
So if you build an exe into the debug directory and run or debug it, it
should already find all debug dlls it needs.
Does that answer your question or do I miss something?

So if you build an exe into the debug directory and run or debug it, it
should already find all debug dlls it needs.
[/snip]
But how does it find the dll in the release or debug directory?
For example, If I'm working on Proj1, and it needs to utilise the dll
mylib.dll, you would set up:
x:\release
-mylib.dll
-mylib.lib
-mylib.exp
-----+\Proj1
-----+----Proj1.exe
x:\debug
-mylib.dll
-mylib.lib
-mylib.exp
-----+\Proj1
-----+----Proj1.exe
But if I run Proj1.exe, won't I get the error "Proj1.exe could not run
because mylib.dll could not be located." ? Will it find it if it's in
the directory above?
You could add the debug and release versions to the paths in the
configuration, but how would you get it to prioritize on the DEBUG
directory in the debug mode and the RELEASE directory in release mode.
I must be missing something.

TBass:
You want to have the .exe file and the .dll file in the same directory.
If you want, you can use a post-build event in the .exe project to copy
the DLL.

On windows, it is not a good idea to link your debug build to release

Default build directories seem to be somewhat different between C# and

However, Visual Studio.NET defaults to a single "bin" directory whereas C#
appears to duplicate the "Debug"/"Release" pattern under bin.
This is creating problems for me in regards to browsed "References" added to

Hi
I built an exe in console debug mode & Release mode . The console
debug mode -exe works fine ...but the release mode EXE starts well but
fails mid way .
The exe is being started as a service. So I need the Release mode EXE.
I've checked the dlls being used . they are working fine for other
services.

Why whenever I create a project in c#, when I compile it, it has got the
resulting executable TWICE in TWO different directories - obj\debug and
bin\debug. WHY?
Sometimes when I'm trying to debug it, when I press F5 the one that's
running is obviously not the same one to the one that i've just made changes
to, as it doesn't seem to update my changes. Why does it do this stupid
behaviour?

The release build class library can only work with msvcr71d.dll and
msvcp71d.dll exist. How to make this class library work on any
machine without using the debug dlls? What are the project settings
that i need to take note so that it will become a "real" release

Can anybody help?

this is the code that generates the dependency on the python25_d.lib
