I've been attempting to modify my project's .csproj file, that will include one of two different resource(resx) files that will depend on what the build configuration is at the current time.
I've tried to use conditionals to differentiate the inclusion, something like:
Then proceeded to add the files that were located in different directories. However, when building I've either gotten errors or the build just ignored the conditionals and added the default resx files.
I was hoping someone might know how to conditionally add resx files depending on the current build configuration?
Thank you!

I am using Visual Studio (2017) and I need the following.
I have a folder where a code generator puts the .h and .c files obtained from a formal model. This folder is not controlled by me, e.g. I cannot write in it, but it is updated by another team member.
By using the /I compiler options (or Additional include directories in the project properties) I managed to import all the generated header files in my VS project. What I am supposed to do is to integrate this generated code into a specific platform, this means that I have to compile both the generated code and the integration code on the target platform. The problem is, the compiler is not able to resolve the generated function definitions of the generated code as it only sees the .h files. What I got is a linking error (external symbol not resolved)
To solve the problem, I added the existing .c files manually, one by one. The obvious problems that comes with this solution are
manual boring work
when new files are generated, I need to manually import the new files
Question is: is there an option that can be set in order to specify the path of the source files without passing them one by one?
note: just copying and pasting the generated code in the VS project folder is not an acceptable solution.
Thanks
If you look at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/ide/working-with-project-properties?view=vs-2017 then you see there is a Source Directories property that has $(VC_SourcePath) as a default but (I think) to which you can add additional paths. The documentation is unclear whether that means all source files in such a path will be included for compilation.
At the bottom of the documentation it explains how to override certain project properties by providing an external properties file. It seems you can override the targets/sources using such a file. You can generate the file using a small tool that reads the filenames in those directories and adds them to the file.
You could also analyze the .vcproj file and build a small tool that wil re-write the part with your generated source directories, reading the filenames in those directories and adding them to the section in the .vcproj file.
I need to use tcl.h in my C project (VS 2012) for registering function in SQLite. I have downloaded Tcl for windows and installed it. But my project still doesn't recognize when I write #include . What should I do to get access to this header?
Thanks in advance.
Open the project properties and do :
Right click on your project, go to properties, go to C/C++ session. On the field Additional Include Directories, add the path to the header you want, and use the header with "".
After that, you should go to the Linker session. On General, go to the Additional Library directories and add the path to the libs you need to add. Then go to Input and add the lib.
Sometimes you will need to copy a dll to the same folder of your executable. You can do that on Custom Build Step - Post Build Events.
You need to do it for each configuration and platform you want to build - one tip to make it easier is to use those variables $(Configuration) and $(Platform) when you are specifying the paths, and select on the dropdown list of the top of the properties window All configurations and All platforms, so you don't need to do it several times per project.
I am attempting to write a reusable package in Go. I'm using a structure similar to that described here but slightly different:
/src/bitbucket.org/EXTERNAL_PROJECT_NAME/EXTERNAL_PACKAGE_NAME/...
/src/INTERNAL_PROJECT_NAME/INTERNAL_PACKAGE_NAME/...
Or should the second line be:
/src/bitbucket.org/INTERNAL_PROJECT_NAME/INTERNAL_PACKAGE_NAME/...
Everything works until I need to access a non-go file that exists in the external package. For example, I have some built in templates that I would like to be available without having to include them in my internal projects templates directory.
To that end, I have a "templates" directory in the external project where I want to house some built-in templates and a "templates" directory in my internal project where custom templates will go. But when I attempt to parse templates from the external project template directory, it can't find them.
So how would I go about indicating that I want to get the templates from the external package directory instead of the internal one? I could adjust the path to something like the following:
../../bitbucket.org/EXTERNAL_PROJECT_NAME/EXTERNAL_PACKAGE_NAME/templates/file.html
but this is obviously very clumsy and depends on individual setup, so that's not going to work. In general, if I want to reference a file in an external package instead of my internal project directory, how would I do this gracefully?
Thanks!
Turns out there is a pretty simple solution. Looks something like the following:
package main
import (
"bitbucket.org/EXTERNAL_PROJECT/EXTERNAL_PACKAGE"
"go/build"
)
func main() {
SrcRoot := "/src"
PackageDir := "/bitbucket.org/EXTERNAL_PROJECT/EXTERNAL_PACKAGE"
InternalTemplateDir := build.Default.GOPATH + SrcRoot + PackageDir + "/templates/"
}
GOROOT here provides us with the path to the directory containing all our go code. From there, I want to reference the templates directory in the package source. With InternalTemplateDir, I now have the base path from which to reference templates within the external package.
For ease of use, I will probably build a template loader that checks for a file on an internal file path first and then checks for the same file in the external package, so that any given template can be overridden by including it internally, but essential templates will all have built in versions as well.
If it's not a Go package (aka bitbucket.org/EXTERNAL_PROJECT_NAME/EXTERNAL_PACKAGE_NAME/file.go) it's not gonna work, your best bet us something like https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata.
But I really think you should rethink your problem and use a different approach to it.
I have a Matlab GUI file, that uses several other .m files (all of them in the same directory as the GUI file) for working. I would like to remove any other file in the current directory that isn´t used by the GUI file. How could I do it easily and without any risk of removing any file needed?
You can check the dependency analysis offered in the editors tools menu.
This gives you an option to run the report on the Current Folder, which you can inspect to spot unused .m files. Other than this, I'm not aware of an automated way of doing this.
There is an automated way - run the function depfun, it will give you the list of the dependencies.
I've got a "Project" containing a mixed set of files that my application compiles into an installable using InnoSetup. Many of the project files are system or configuration files, and not relevant to the actual install. Therefore, i want to include only the relevant files in an installer. I have a list of them in my application, but no way to inject this information into the template Inno setup script.
What options are available to achieve this?
Regards
Tris
Note: The files are too big to really be copied in a reasonable length of time. :)
sorry for being so late...and then just asking the obvious: why can't you just keep irrelevant files out of the Inno-Script? Do I understand right: you have an app that generates a setup-script for InnoSetup based on a template? Can't you then modify the app? Alternatively, any chance to edit the ISS and remove the irrelevant files?
Cheers
Michael
