.NET Forum / Languages / Managed C++ / June 2004Command Line Compilatins
Hi I've worked with VC6 and implemented all my builds on the commadline using the nmake tool with the make file. Now we are moving to dotnet and I need a tool similar to that that will enable me do all my compilations/builds on the command line. Problem is the dotnet IDE does not generate make files or maybe I don't know how to, now I need a tool that can generate the make file from the .csproj file. How can I also tell devenv on the comman line to use my own defined OUTDIR and INTDIR Please Hel > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I also tell devenv on the comman line to use my own defined OUTDIR > and INTDIR. I assume you're looking for a tool to create makefiles from a .vcproj file, yes? The .csproj file you mentioned is a C# project, not C++. Your VC6 makefiles will still work with VC7{.1} tools. Yes, you're correct - there is no function in the devenv IDE to produce a makefile. One option is to use one of the free workspace convertors to convert your VC7{.1} project to VC6 and then export the makefile from VC6. That sounds a bit tedious. Another option is to use VCBuild, which is available on gotdotnet at http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/cplusplus/. This a command-line build utility that can build .vcproj files directly with no conversion. You can invoke vcbuild from within a larger makefile if you desire. -cd Hi Carl Does this VCBuild come with dotnet? Will the tool allow me to set env. variables and use then im my build just like nmake. Than theSentinel > Hi Carl, > > Does this VCBuild come with dotnet?

Yes, I believe so. -cd Hi Carl i've tried vcbuild and it works exactly the same as devenv. I can set the LIB, INCLUDE and PATH env. var and use them with the tool. Everything work fine, Now I want to tell/direct the tool as to where to put the output and my intermediate files See, I don't want to build if my source has not changed. So, I want to store it somewhere everytime I build. not under release/debug on the current directory. Is there a way of setting the OUTDIR and INTDIR that the tool will use instead of what is inside the csproj file Regard Joe > Hi Carl, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > INTDIR that the tool will use instead of what is inside the csproj > file? That I don't know. Have you tried simply defining OUTDIR and INTDIR in the environment? If that doesn't do it, you're probably out of luck. -cd
