[ace-users] MPC: How to create static library project?

[Dmytro Ovdiienko]

Hello All,

I'm not sure I'm writing to the correct email list. I'm sorry but I cannot find more appropriate email group for my question.

The question is how to generate static library project using MPC (Make project creator). I have following MPC file:

project {
    staticname = utils

    Source_Files {
        *.cpp
    }
}

To create project file I use following command:

mpc.pl -type vc9

MPC successfully processes my file but it creates DLL project but not LIB project.

What is wrong?


Thanks.

Dima

Hi Dima,

There are two ways to force MPC to create a static library project:

1) Set 'sharedname' to empty in your project.

project {
sharedname =
staticname = utils
}

2) Use the -static option on the MPC command line. This is not desirable if you
plan on mixing shared and static projects within a workspace.

HTH,
Chad
