My component source list includes:
easyrtd.src/COMRtdInterface.cpp
easyrtd.src/EasyRTD.rc
easyrtd.src/EasyRTD.idl
and after fixing up the paths Visual Studio builds the project OK.
However, nmake does not - the RC compiler runs before MIDL.
It seems that there is a dependency that's missing. This would seem to
be the implied one from the TYPELIB statement in the RC file.
Is it enough to use OBJECT_DEPENDS on the rc file (treating the implied
res file as an object) naming the tlb that would be output by midl?
Presumably I'd also have to declare that the idl file produces the tlb
file, using OBJECT_OUTPUTS? (Or not? This is only for Makefile
generators, but how is the OBJECT_DEPENDS going to be handled in other
cases?)
There seems to be an element of magic going on here rather than
explicitly handling the midl/rc/link toolchain. I know Visual Studio
tries to make this stff easy - but how does it work with nmake (and
ideally the mingw toolchain too)?
