Different names for each build configuration

twilight17 · Post by **twilight17** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 2:29 am

When I build the Irrlicht engine, I dislike how every configuration property (Release, Debug, FastFPU) all output to the same directory and file, overwriting each other. When I perform batch builds I end up not knowing which library and DLL I have (Debug? Release?)

What are your opinions on renaming the different configurations?
My idea:

Release: simply Irrlicht.dll and Irrlicht.lib (So it won't require updating tutorials, etc)

Debug: IrrlichtDebug.dll and IrrlichtDebug.lib (For anyone wanting Debug information available)

FastFPU: IrrlichtFastFPU.dll and IrrlichtFastFPU.lib

Thanks
