Intro : How do I combine an unmanaged dll and a managed assembly into one file?
In comparison to the question above i need to combine DLLs so that final mixed DLL could export their functions to other unmanaged applications.
For this i would like to compile them both as .netmodule and then combine them into one file with a linker so i have :
1) Libs - project with some library in C# - it does not have any dependencies and and i can easily compile it like a .netmodule
2) Links - C++ unmanaged project that has reference to C# library and unfortunately i am not able to build it with cl.exe compiler because it always gives an error saying that namespace from C# library cannot be found even though i tried to point compiler to all folders where it can find reference to my C# assembly, this C++ project is used like a simple C++ wrapper over CLR methods from C#
Here is my batch script and second line throws an error :
"c:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/csc.exe" /target:module /out:./Build/libs.netmodule Libs\Properties\*.cs Libs\*.cs
"c:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0/VC/bin/cl.exe" /clr /AI"D:\T\CPlus\Library\Release" /AI"D:\T\CPlus\Library\Libs" /AI"D:\T\CPlus\Library\Libs\Properties" /LN Links\*.cpp
Question : does anybody now how to let C++ know where it can find C# assembly to resolve the reference or maybe i need to somehow explicitly mention my header files in batch commands?
Source code : C# is just empty class with method Foo and C++ looks like this one.
// Links.h
#pragma once
#define DllExport extern "C" __declspec(dllexport)
using namespace System;
using namespace Libs; // cl.exe cannot resolve this reference
// Links.cpp
#include "Links.h"
DllExport int __stdcall Execute()
{
Libs::CLibrary::Foo();
}
