Auto linking in Visual Studio
« on: December 16, 2011, 09:25:29 pm »
Visual Studio allows you to set up linker options through preprocessor directives.  You can link to libraries like this:

#pragma comment( lib, "sfml-window.lib" )

Boost uses it, and it makes development much easier, especially when doing small projects just for testing something out.  Will this feature be considered for SFML?

Nop.

Boost uses it because they have complicated libraries names that nobody can remember.

But for "regular" libraries I don't consider this to be a good practice.
