[C++Builder] DLL and EXE, same project

[tappatappa]

I was wondering whether is possible to write a c++builder project (.cbproj) where you can produce a Stand-Alone Application (.exe) with the Debug Configuration, and a ISAPI DLL with the Release Configuration. Currently I work with two separate projects but this is painful because when I add a new unit to the "Debug project" I have to remember to add it to the "Release project", too. This rarely happens, of course, and causes all sorts of problems during release (compiling/linking/runtime errors...)

 

Beside auto-generating the .cbproj, what alternatives do I have?

ok I wrote a shell script that generates the cbproj file

 

sed -e 's/<AppType>Application<\/AppType>/<AppType>Library<\/AppType>/g' \
-e "s/<Config Condition=\"'\$(Config)'==''\">Debug<\/Config>/<Config Condition=\"'\$(Config)'==''\">Release<\/Config>/g" \
-e 's/<ProjectType>CppVCLApplication<\/ProjectType>/<ProjectType>CppManagedDynamicLibrary<\/ProjectType>/g' \
-e 's/<Borland\.ProjectType>CppVCLApplication<\/Borland\.ProjectType>/<Borland.ProjectType>CppManagedDynamicLibrary<\/Borland.ProjectType>/g' \
-e 's/<ProjectGuid>{[a-zA-Z0-9\-]*}<\/ProjectGuid>/<ProjectGuid>{3D9AD1F9-86F9-468A-AE84-AA46B52285E8}<\/ProjectGuid>/g'\
 < myproject.cbproj > myproject_DLL.cbproj 

plus you need to put some #ifdef here and there, especially in the MainSource (myproject.cpp)

#ifdef MYPROJECT_DLL

#include <ActiveX.hpp>
#include <ComObj.hpp>
#include <UniGUIISAPI.hpp>
#include <Isapi2.hpp>
#else
#include <UniGUIVars.hpp>
#endif

//.....USEFORM.....

#ifdef MYPROJECT_DLL
#pragma link "uniguiisapi.obj"
#else
#pragma link "UniGUIVars.obj"
#pragma MyProject
#endif
#pragma package(smart_init)

#ifdef MYPROJECT_DLL

	if (reason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH) {
      CoInitFlags = COINIT_MULTITHREADED;
    }
  }
  catch (Exception &exception)
  {
  }
  return 1;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
extern "C"

  }

  {
	return Uniguiisapi::HttpExtensionProc(ECB);
  }
  //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  BOOL __declspec(dllexport) WINAPI TerminateExtension(int dwFlags)
  {
    return Uniguiisapi::TerminateExtension(dwFlags);
  }
}
#else
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
	try
	{
		Forms::Application->Initialize();
		Uniguivars::CreateServerModule(__classid(TUniServerModule));
		Application->Run();
	}
	catch (...)
	{
	}
	return 0;
}
#endif
