How to automate VC++ builds
-
Hi.. Just wanted some info on ways to automate VC++ builds. I am using Visual Studio .NET 2003. Maybe some command line switches of devenv.exe ? Regards Amit
run devenv.exe /?

Yes. Thats the easiest way to go. Alternatively, you could use a totally different build system like Microsofts nmake, scons or jam.
Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Douglas Adams, "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency"As you mentioned it, have you ever got Jam to work? I tried it for building the Boost library and couldn't get anywhere with it. Do you perhaps know of any good tutorials for it?
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Actually, no. But it pops up in every review on build systems. We used SCONS, and it worked. Now, we are more and more switching to .NET and NANT.

Douglas Adams, "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency"Thanks, I'll check out SCONS at some point.

Douglas Adams, "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency"Nice article, thanks. I guess I'm not the only one who's had trouble with Jam then. Unfortunately I hate and am hopeless with make as well which is really disabling me from doing proper cross platform development. I guess I'm going to have to spend some time with a hefty make tutorial and write my own front end...Hmm XML to make using a recursive decent parser ... Visual Studio solution to platform indpendent XML using XSLT ... Visual Studio AddIn to export ... GCC build for MinGW ... :sigh: next time I've got a spare month :doh:
