Can I compile a DLL with having DLLMain in a separate directory

This is one for the techies.
What I'm trying to do is the following. I have a directory "DLL Maker" that contains the checked out code from the google project that you need to build a DLL

Besides that I have a project directory with some subdirectories that contains all the files of project (.fsl file, chm files and a lot of cpp & h files )

Now it would be nice if I could compile this project, using the DLL Maker directory, without having to copy files from the "DLL Maker" into the project directory.

The idea behind it is that if you have multiple projects you can use the same base files for all projects and if Flexsim updates the google project and I can update my working copy, compile again and ready. Otherwise I have to copy these files to multipe directories with changes of missing one etc.

Hope it is clear what I want and that it is possible

Hi Steven,

Then short answer is, yes you can have the files for the "DLL Maker" in one directory and then call them from your Visual Studio Project.

The files you can call from the project is *.h and *.c.
Do not forget to add the path to the "DLL Maker" files in the Visual Studio Project.

What I would do is have the project file located in the same place as my model project and also here I would have all my own *.cpp files and *.h files the is unique for this project.
All other *.cpp and *.h files that is the same for multiple project I would put in shared directory.

Added an example project.

Hope this answer your question.
