Building the engine part 1

Post by NovaCoder »

Hi,

I'm trying to modify and then re-build the engine. Ok so I can re-build the DLL buy opening the solution file but how do I re-build the LIB?

What is the connection between the DLL and the LIB anyway, is the lib some kind of interface (COM?) with the actual code in the DLL or something?

Thanks

The lib file is rebuilt when you build the DLL.

Lib files are for building into the final EXE.

Ok thanks disanti, the reason I asked was because I couldn't see the LIB as a build target in the solution properties, only the DLL.

I'll have to have a hunt for it.

thanks.

If you're using visual c++ it's in the Debug directory with the DLL.
