Further, I have to note that command-line VS builds should be
supported for one simple reason: nmake does not support parallel
builds and probably never will. This makes VS the easiest way of
running a parallel build on Windows (locally or distributed with
additional tools). GNU make from MSYS is out of the question
because MSYS seems far from production-grade.
Should IDE builds be considered support-worthy, it would of
course be necessary to test manually before releases.
I hope that some of this helps
Interesting, thanks for this. Would the 'cwrap' approach (where the
compiler is called via a wrapper) work under vcbuild? (Forgive me, I
don't do windows). The only reason I paid attention to NMAKE is that it
was somewhat familiar to me.
No, that would not help. vcbuild uses the project files. CTest can
already run devenv from the command line which is almost the same thing.
I think with VS you really have to test the project files for
performance, and to make sure they work. We are working on a way of
extracting the build information from the log files produced by VS.
