Programmatically Setting the RunTime Library in VS

You can set it with a macro in the IDE. Is that what you're asking?

Yes, do you know what that macro is? Erm, I mean like put it in a .h/.cpp file and it will be changed, well have it so the project now uses the right RTL, just like how a #pragma comment(lib, "SDL.lib") would work.

Not that kind of C++ macro, an IDE macro. I don't think there's a way to set the runtime library in the C++ code itself, and there really shouldn't be since the runtime library switch is a global change not a local change. It defines certain preprocessor symbols as well as changing link targets.

Ok cool thanks, I've searched before I couldn't ever find it, but I wanted to see if anyone had any tricks for it [wink]. Only reason I was looking was because it would make using SDL a lot easier if each time you didn't have to change the RTL for the project. I'm working on my own little SDL framework (again? yes [lol]) and it'd be nice to have it so the end user could include the .lib and .h and be ready to program without having to touch project settings. Thanks, and I guess I'd be interested in that IDE macro myself, not that I'm so lazy as to not want to change settings myself, but just curious how it works [smile]
