yep DebugDRT wasn't really a good choice. So for consistency the first part is the runtime setting and the second one the compiler. The only small change I would make is instead of Opt I would go for Rel (Release) as this seems to be the more natural term on windows. Debug -> (short for DebugDbg) debug runtime + debug compiler DebugRel -> debug runtime + release compiler (was DebugOpt) ReleaseDbg -> release runtime + debug compiler Release -> (short for ReleaseRel) release runtime + release compiler the lib suffixes than would be: Debug -> D (short for DD) DebugRel -> DR ReleaseDbg -> RD Release -> nothing, I don't thing we need an R here as I prefer separate install dirs, I would put in an option to use one combined dir or separate dirs. The dirnames would follow the variant name, e.g. Debug/DebugRel/ReleaseDbg/Release. Would that be fine for everybody ? kind regards gerrit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Opensg-users mailing list Opensg-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensg-users
