I am using visual studio 2019.

I have a project A (dll) depending on a project B (static library). So when building A, it builds indeed B first. So I would like to have a preprocessor defined when building B only when built by A.

Note that I also have other projects that also use project B, but I don't want to define that preprocessor in these cases. So I can't simply define that preprocessor on project B configuration.

Also, projects A and B doesn't have any common source files.

Looks like preprocessor definitions can't be inherited.

How to do it ?

  • Just a thought: If your only main issue is the build order for a particular SLN, did you try setting it manually in `Project\Project Build Order..."? Commented Dec 19, 2024 at 14:06
  • Is this for C++ projects ("static library")? Commented Apr 22 at 8:55
  • it is for C++ projects, but not only static libs. (dynamic libs also) Commented Apr 22 at 12:11
