libexpat

Build differently named 32 and 64 bit binaries for libexpat

PREREQUISITES

  1. msvc: tested with MSVS 2019 Community Edition
  2. libexpat VS2019 solution: tested with these sources

STEPS

  1. Save these files to C:\local\temp and open expat.sln
  2. Select Build -> Batch and select all four configurations (Release|Debug)<-->(x64|Win32) and build (skip templates)
    1. Place the files into C:\local\libs\libexpat
      • \include all .h files except macconfig.h and amigaconfig.h
      • \bin Release: libexpat32.dll, libexpat64.dll Debug: libexpat32d.dll, libexpat64d.dll
      • \lib Release: libexpat32.lib, libexpat64.lib Debug: libexpat32d.lib, libexpat64d.lib

HOW THE VS2019 SOLUTION WAS CREATED

  1. Extract libexpat201.7z (source code from sourceforge)
  2. Open the VC++ project expat.dsw and allow the upgrade
  3. Rename the project expat to libexpat and delete all the other projects
  4. Add x64 configuration by right clicking Solution in Solution Explorer -> Configuration Manager
    • Under Active solution platform -> New … -> x64 and OK (copying settings from x86)
  5. Under project properties for the project libexpat do the following:
    1. Configuration Properties -> General -> Target Name
      • x64 Release $(ProjectName)64
      • x64 Debug $(ProjectName)64d
      • Win32 Release $(ProjectName)32
      • Win32 Debug $(ProjectName)32d
    2. C/C++ -> Precompiled Headers -> Precompiled Header
      • ALL Not Using Precompiled Headers
    3. Linker -> General -> Output File
      • ALL $(OutDir)$(TargetName)$(TargetExt)
    4. Linker -> Advanced -> Import Library
      • ALL $(OutDir)$(TargetName).lib
    5. C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Function Level Linking
      • ALL Yes (/Gy)
    6. C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library
      • Debug MDd
      • Release MD
  6. All four configurations ready to be built as this ready-made solution
    1. Under Build -> Batch Build select all except the Template|x86 and Template|x64
    2. Build
    3. Place the files into C:\local\libs\libexpat
      • \include all .h files except macconfig.h and amigaconfig.h
      • \bin Release: libexpat32.dll, libexpat64.dll Debug: libexpat32d.dll, libexpat64d.dll
      • \lib Release: libexpat32.lib, libexpat64.lib Debug: libexpat32d.lib, libexpat64d.lib
