Can I make Visual Studio create the Debug DLL as XXXd.DLL instead of XXX.DLL ?

Question

I have found a solution for this, but it only works if you use .DEF files (I don't).

I wonder if this can be done without .DEF files.

Answer 1

Since you are using Visual Studio, you can set the output file path through the project's property pages:

Properties --> Linker --> General --> Output File

Answer 2

Project > Properties. Then Configuration Properties > Linker > General > Output file. Here you should have something like: $(OutDir)\$(ProjectName).dll just put $(OutDir)\$(ProjectName)d.dll
