Can I build both a .dll and .lib for the same library at the same

In a thread below, I found out that I need to build a .lib if I also want to
build a .dll that depends on it.

Sometimes I would like to have a .dll and a .lib both for the same library.
Is there a way to build both in the same build, or is the only solution to go
in and tweak the settings by hand and rebuild to get the second one after I
build the first one?

Thanks,
Michael
 
Hi Michael!

The lib is used by other apps to import the DLL-specification.

You can either use a def-file:
See: Exporting from a DLL Using DEF Files
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vccore/html/_core_export_from_a_dll_using_..def_files.asp

Or I recommend to use __declspec(dllimport/dllexport)
