building a library with CodeLite in Windows -> .exe instead of .dll?
Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2020 2:51 pm
I would like to use CodeLite in Windows to teach C++. To do everything by the book I installed version 14.0.0 and also MinGW-W64 version 7.1.0.
I tried using CMake as a build tool but that does not seem work in Windows from an NFS share. So now I create a first project to build a .dll (which is needed in all the class project) with the CodeLite Make Generator:
[1] create project
category: Library; type: Dynamic Library; compiler: MinGW-W64-7.1.0; debugger: GNU gdb debugger; build system: CodeLite Make Generator
[2] import files
All existing header and source files in /include and /src, respectively
[3] build project
F7
No errors, and the last line of the build log
suggests that the .dll is built.
However, the file in the lib directory is called z.exe ...
What I don't know for sure now is:
-- has the file been built correctly? could it be used after renaming?
-- if that is true, is there a way to control the extension of the output (to not to manually rename files all the time)?
