This is a common challenge faced by developers, especially when 
working with languages like C++, C#, VB, etc.

To address this issue, consider implementing a more flexible 
approach to referencing file paths. Instead of hard-coding 
specific names and locations, you could utilize variables or 
configuration files to dynamically set the paths based on the 
project type or environment.

Additionally, generating the output executable as a special token 
tied to the project type can streamline the process and ensure 
compatibility across different projects.

By adopting these practices, you can enhance the portability and 
maintainability of your projects, reducing the headaches caused 
by hardcoded references and ensuring smoother transitions between 
environments.
