    Hello,

    Is it possible to override a few of the Visual GDB build variables? …such as:
    $(TargetExtension)
    $(TargetPath)
    $(TargetDir)

    I need to change TargetPath/TargetDir so that the library or exe is copied to another bin directory, which can probably be accomplished through a custom build step…but I would like to know anyways how I go about overriding these build variables.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    VisualGDB build variables are usually derived from the project settings or our generated Makefile.

    For Linux projects the Target-related build variables are derived from the BuildDir variable and TARGETNAME and BINARYDIR from the makefiles. If you change these variables in the makefiles then the library/executable will be built into a different directory under a different name.
