PLS - 27 Apr 2007 22:53 GMT

I'm trying to build a solution form the command line. The command I'm
currently using is:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
pciw.sln /Build Debug /out compile.txt; type compile.txt

That's actually one line.

The solution gets built. Without the /out options I don't see
compilation messages at all. With it, I see them but each line is
prefixed with "1>".

This is annoying. Is there a way to eliminate this prefix?

Thanks,
++PLS

Don't you also see these when you build from within the IDE? VS2005 does
partially parallel builds, in that if you have multiple CPUs, cores, or
(IIRC) Hyper-Threading, it will compile more than one project at the same
time. The numbers are telling you which build the message is associated
with. It does also seem to put these in if you're only building a single
project, which I agree is annoying, but not related to using the command
line to do the build I think. Try going to VS options -> Projects and
Solutions -> Build and Run, and setting "maximum number of parallel project
builds" to just 1.
