Place created DLL and import library in separate directories

Question

Is there a way in a Visual C++ Win32 DLL project to have the linker output the DLL to one directory and the import library (*.lib) to another?

Answer 1

In your project settings, set the post condition to where you want your dll and lib copied to.

Answer 2

In project properties /Linker/General/Output File is path and name of dll. Linker/Advanced/Import Library is path and name of the lib.

(That's for VS2003, similar or same for other versions)
