I'm writing a Total Commander plugin, which has the "wdx" file extension, so I wish to let dub generate xxx.wdx directly but not xxx.dll.

How can I write my file to achieve this goal?

---

my dub.json:


{
    "name": "tckeyex",
    "targetType": "dynamicLibrary",
    "description": "A minimal D application.",
    "copyright": "Copyright 2016, idtong",
    "authors": ["idtong"],
    "sourceFiles": ["source/app.def"],
    "dependencies": {
        "wind": { "path": "thirdparty/wind" }
    }
}


and my build script:

@echo off

call makeversion.bat

dub build -b release
copy /y tckeyex.dll tckeyex.wdx

dub build -b release -a x86_64
copy /y tckeyex.dll tckeyex.wdx64

Sadly you can't set the extension, just the name.
I'm afraid you're stuck with postBuildCommands to change it.

Have you tried "targetName":"tckeyex.wdx" ?

To get a different name for 32/64 bit you may require a configuration for each and run

$ dub build -cx86 release
$ dub build -cx86_64 release

in your dub you'd have something like:

"configuration":"x86" {
  "targetName":"tcleyex.wdx"
}

"configuration":"x86_64" {
  "targetName":"tcleyex.wdx64"
}

Sorry I'm in a hurry and cannot remember the exact dub syntax but this approach is working OK for me on Linux & BSD.

I have not tried this on Windows

Rikki's right the extension doesn't change on windows for targetName. The postBuildCommands is pretty trivial though:

"postBuildCommands:"copy /y tckeyex.dll tckeyex.wdx64"

(again, not sure on the correct dub JSON format)
