How change OUTPUT file in cpp file ?

[knive1]

how can i change the output file using the cpp #pragma or other things ??


eg.

#define CHANENAME

#ifdef CHANENAME
#define FILENAME "plugin_new"
// code to set output file name (/OUT)
#else
#define FILENAME "plugin"
// code to set output file name (/OUT)
#endif

is possible?

What are you trying to do? Change the output filename? say change server.dll to custommod.dll?

You cna do that in the Projects properties, right click your project, properties, General (Or C++) and go to Output.

yes, but i want change in a cpp file or h file using some #pragma or anything this is for a plugin

change from VPS to MM names
because my plugin require names because im exporting things and this need the dll with rigth name

I dont get what you are trying to do... Are you trying to get some cpp files to compile into their own dll?

NO, only trying change dll build file name in a code not in project proprietis

But what would that achieve? Changing it in the properties is the right way to do it, there will be other options for what you want to do in there also...

Hmm... i think i get what you mean (If something is defined then output one file, if another, output another).

no this say errors in .exp file and output the project name to file

Maybe you can just add a building profile in Visual Studio, and dunno why #pragma comment won't work

i remove in settings the output file and in my cpp i set the #pragma but that say errors in .exp file

I tried the #pragma method on my machine, it just gave out a warning, but the output was a wrong file
