I use Multi-Proj to generate programs that run TPS, SQL, ODBC, etc., from a single code base. The TPS sln gets generated and works. I just need to Edit Dependencies. The SQL sln does not get generated and needs to be build manually. But it does build a cwproj for each app. There are 200+ apps in this thing, and it’s painful to build and Edit Dependencies. If it goes wrong, the IDE doesn’t tell you what’s wrong, it just pukes.
If I call MSBuild, it returns errors. Then it’s back to trying to build the SQL sln manually.
Claude showed me how to get MSBuild to compile the generated ProgNameMSQ.cwprojs in a batch, and I think that’s how I’ll proceed.
- dir c:\sourcedir *msq.cwproj >mycwprojs.txt to build a file from the directory.
- edit the mycwprojs.txt file to remove unwanted cwprojs, and insert the compile commands.
- fire it up and see what happens. then see what happens when the sun comes up…
Thanks!
Any suggestions for improvement or modification will be welcomed.
