I have a library consisting of approx 100 source files. I want one of the sources to be always rebuilt if any of the other files have been compiled but I dont want it built every time I run the make/build. Basically I want this file to have the last build date/time built into it so any application linking to the library can check the la...
We would like to run some tasks after a build has been stopped using VS2008. Does anyone know if any of the default targets are still executed after this action? Thanks in advance! ...
I have a .NET solution with multiple projects. Once I finish editing a file, my preference would be to only build the project that the file belongs to but not build any of the other projects. From the menu, the following option does exactly what I want: Build -> Build [MY PROJECT NAME] However, I would like to call that action from V...
What would be the best choice of build system for a more than one million line multi platform project, which produces drivers, libraries, command line tools, GUIs, and OS install packages for all the mainstream OSes, using both the GNU and Microsoft toolchains? Our source code is mainly C, with Python, C# and GNU makefile, and a little ...

Is there a way to view more detailed messages ? The "skipped" part doesn't give me any info on what's wrong . I am ...

I would like to implement a post build event that performs the following actions A relative path copy of the DLL output (1 file, not all the debug jazz) A register the output DLL to GAC How is this done? ...
The build.xml has a test and a build target. The test target obviously depends on the build target. How can I run the test target only, temporarily skipping the compilation, without modifying the build.xml file ? I'm asking because the compilation is too long, and kept up-to-date by a continuous integration server ; and I'm chasing a...
I have an iPhone app that's shipping (vConqr - you should go and buy it :-) ). I build the project on several different machines, including a colleague's, and it's been working fine. However, just recently, on my second dev machine my build fails every time with the error: /Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/CoreBuildTasks.xcplugin/C...
What would you suggest as a replacement to the Maven Java build toolset? Just plain Ant scripts? SCons? ...
I am writing a (very small) framework for checking pre- and postconditions of methods. Entry points are (they could be easily be methods; that doesn't matter): public static class Ensures { public static Validation That { get { ... } } } public static class Requires { public static Validation That { get { .....
Is there a way to read value for the WiX variable from a text file? What I am trying to do is to include a version-specific information into instlal package. This version information extracted into the text file on the pre-build step, the question is how to propages this text file content into a build process. One of the possible solu...
Microsoft distributes source code to reference implementations of their different Direct3D APIs to hardware vendors, driver developers, etc. This code builds using the ever-cryptic WDK (formerly DDK) build system, and virtually never works out-of-the-box. Though widely used, this code is semi-private, so there is never any basic helpful ...
Adding source files more than one directory away (e.g. ../../source.cpp or ../../../somewhere_else/source.cpp, vs. just source.cpp or ../source.cpp) to the SOURCES= declaration in a WDK/DDK build yields the following error: Ignoring invalid directory prefix in SOURCES= entry Is it possible to include remote source files in a build? ...
I am building an x64 lib in Visual Studio 2008, and separately linking it into an x64 DLL (specifically using the WDK Build.exe toolchain in this case). Most general C runtime symbols link fine, indicating that the library versions are sufficiently well-matched, but these two RTC_* symbols specifically fail. Forcing different runtime lib...
i've added a reference to the log4net assembly dll to my project. When i build i get a warning saying: Warning Assembly 'Lib\log4net.dll' is incorrectly specified as a file. i look up the help for this error on MSDN, and it says: This warning is generated during application manifest generation when the build process de...
Does anyone know of any MSBuild or NAnt tasks for controlling Wise Installation Studio? I know, I should probably just use WiX but my current project is already in Wise and all I need to automate is updating of a product code, the upgrade section and a few bits of text. ...
When I add a "Repository" to a SConstruct file (link), if any target in my repository has been built in this other repository ( and the dependencies haven't changed), then SCons will not build the target -- which is really cool. Unfortunately, I have some tools which rely on the targets being placed in a certain location. How can I cr...
I am writing a fairly simple WPF desktop application and under build\configuration manager, release is not an option. The only available options are Debug, New, and Edit. Anyone have an idea on why this is? Related: the control library in the same solution does have release as a build option. It is only missing in the wpf app. ...
Greetings! I'd like to build an apache web server, running on debian lenny. It will primarily be used for hosting a web-shop, so it should have some light db i/o and lots of image serving (item previews/thumbs/etc...). It's tough to put a finger on the exact number of concurrent requests that I'll get hit with, but I'd say that a non-...
