How to create a development toolkit?

[Rahul P. Shukla]

Hi,

I have to create a development toolkit. We have to build some series of
applications (for Wm5, WM6.1 based HH computers) which are based over some
base classes (these classes contains threads, threads synchronization,
messages etc). These “base” files are same for all applications and need to
be included while developing each application. So instead of adding these
“base” .h/.cpp & .lib files for each application development, better create a
development toolkit. Installation path for .lib/.h files will be known by
visual studio (2005). So:

1. What are the ways I can create a development toolkit? (I have all .h &
.lib files ready. These files has to be saved at user specified location
while installation.)

2. How can I add my customized path into Build system path as “C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\crt\src\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\VC\atlmfc\src\mfc\”. Can it be done by running any .bat file at the
time of installation of toolkit?

Please help me if you know anything regarding the same.

Thanks

This isn't really a question for this newsgroup, as it really has nothing to
do with Windows Mobile/Embedded. It's a VS2005 question. I would think that
someone in the normal VS2005 group might be able to help, if it's possible at
all.

I agree with Paul that this is more a VS question and that an SDK probably
isn't the solution that you need. I also think that someone else has
probably solved this, you can't be the only one who would need this.

With that said, I think that the solution is probably fairly simple. You
have a lib and inc folder that you need VS to be aware of. The solution is
to add the path to the general path for the SDK(s) that you are building
against. These can be set using the Tools\Options dialog. Granted, you
probably don't what using the dialog as your solution, but that should get
you started on this. The paths are probably saved in the registry.
