Modify the compiler option to convert a DLL project to a Windows project.

 

 

 

Sometimes the compilation type of the project needs to be converted.

 

For example, compile a Windows program into a DLL or compile a DLL project into a console for convenience of debugging.

 

In the open-source project gh0st of codediyer by cloud, the debugging version is the console release piece and the DLL

 

 

Haha, this is mainly for vc6, but it is not very different from the vs series.

 

If it is Delphi or another IDE compiler, it may be different. I have never used it and I do not know it.

 

 

 

 

 

1. Differences between projectoptions in link options

 

The option after/nologo is used to set the compilation subsystem type

 

DLL type:/DLL

 

Console is/subsystem: Console

 

Windows:/subsystem: Windows

 

 

 

 

 

2. In Preprocessor definitions of the (C/C ++) Compilation Option

 

DLL is

 

Win32, _ debug, _ WINDOWS, _ MBCS, _ usrdll, mydll_exports

 

Console is

 

Win32, _ debug, _ console, _ MBCS

 

Windwos is

 

Win32, _ debug, _ WINDOWS, _ MBCS

 

 

 

 

3. Key Points of DLL project Conversion

 

If the DLL is converted to Windows or console, you need to remove the export function from the DLL.

 

 

 

4. output file name and Path

 

You can specify the output file name and path in the output file name of link.

 

After the compilation type is modified, you can modify the file name here to switch the file name after compilation.

 

 

 

 

Based on the above three items, you can switch between Windows console and DLL files.

 

 

I just drew two images.
