Get the Directory of $(ProjectDir) in VC++

In vcproj Proper开发者_如何学Goty, there exists a list of build macro properties. Among them are $(OutDir), $(ProjectName) and $(ProjectDir).

Question, what is the macro ( or the command to get the directory of $(ProjectDir)?

This is because I want to write the output dll to the parent directory of $(ProjectDir), or a folder inside the parent folder.

simply set Settings->General->Output Directory ( == OutputDirectory element under section in the vcproj file) to $(ProjectDir)..

alternatively if you want just the executable there, not the pdb etc, change the General->OutputFile to $(ProjectDir)..\$(TargetFileName)

edit: since this doesn't seeem to work for you, but it does for me, maybe you're missing a slash? Can you post the value of your $(ProjectDir)?

for example, I have these macro values in a dll project:

$(ProjectDir) d:\path\to\project\core\
$(ProjectPath) d:\path\to\project\core\core.vcproj

consequently, setting the OutputDirectory to $(ProjectDir)..\xxx, my dll goes here: d:\path\to\project\core.dll
