Greetings,
This might be totally obvious, but I can't seem to figure out
how to specify an executable's name&path to be different for
each build types in my DUB package. For example, if my project
is named "dlang_test", I might want something like so:
dub build --build=debug
yields either
bin/dlang_test-debug.exe
or possibly
bin/debug/dlang_test.exe
if I did
dub build --build=release
I might get either
bin/dlang_test-release.exe
or
bin/release/dlang_test.exe
When I read the section on build types
(https://dub.pm/package-format-json.html#build-types), it
specifically mentions that a "buildTypes" entry can override
the build settings, but *not* "targetName" and "targetPath",
which is what I think I want here.
Is there any reason why this is disallowed? Or is there a more
canonical way of achieving this with DUB? What I described
above is often found in other build tools, such as CMake and
Visual Studio, which makes me think I'm missing something
obvious here.
Thanks!
You can specify the names by adding a configuration "debug" and a
configuration "unittest". While dub is using the first
configuration in the list as default configuration for command
"dub build" it will use configuration "unittest" for command "dub
test".
Kind regards
