10.1   Exporting Library Projects

See also: hdevelop -export_project (command line switch).

Exporting a library project makes it easy to integrate HDevelop code into your projects. You can export a project containing either a selected procedure library or the local procedures of the current program. Watch our tutorial video and learn how to use the library project export to integrate HDevelop code into an existing Visual Studio application.

The following target languages are supported:

• C++
• C#

The project will be exported to a project directory with the following components:

• Wrapper code in the target language
• CMake file to build the project (CMake is freely available at https://cmake.org/)
• the selected procedure library (or HDevelop program containing the local procedures)

Additionally, for C++ the following files are generated:

• C++ header file
• CMake functions to resolve the HALCON environment
