Hi All, I'd like to have all the "@" sings (which hides the actual dos command that is run) infront of each line of win32 build removed, except when it is absolutely necessary. There are two main reasons for this:
1. If there is something wrong with our build process, it is really hard to spot where the error is. we have to go through many batch scripts to locate the error. Rather if it all the "@"s were dropped, you can easily spot where things went wrong. 2. An even disturbing situation is when the cl.exe and link.exe are prefixed with an "@". Users have no information about the flags used in building, if they do not go through the makefiles. If there is an issue in the arguements provided to cl.exe or link.exe, again, hiding information only results in increasing the time wasted on finding those mistakes. Ather way would be to define a %AT% var in init.bat allowing one to set it to "@" if they prefer. But having an %AT% prefixing all the commands would make the batch files look quite ugly :). Thoughts?
