How best to set up multiple exe project? [message #824636]

Hi,

I have a project which will have several exe's that need to be built all sharing the same code.

how can I set up the project best to facilitate this?

I have read on the forums the two ways are:
- separate projects for each exe with explicit sharing of libraries
- exclude the main.cpp's you don't want from different build configs

I tried them both, I had trouble setting up a shared library for the 1st way and the second would always build main.cpp even when it was excluded from builds no matter what.

Thanks for any advice

So I have the setup

project
  <shared library> (This is a static linked library for each project)
    - exe1   
    - exe2
    - exe3

so how looking through the net, a custom makefile seems like the right option. what do you guys think?

Thanks
Chris
