Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: votive Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: petemounce (pfm102) Assigned to: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) Summary: More useful preprocessor vars Initial Comment: I'd like var.<project>.BinDir to get at things in eg C:\code\msdn\MyApp\bin\Debug I would also like var.<project>.ConfigurationName to either be parsable so I can get rid of the |NET suffix (ie, I want _just_ the configuration name, eg "Debug" or "Release" or whatever), or another variable that returns just the Configuration Name minus the |NET part. Unless there is already and I've missed it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) Date: 2006-04-04 01:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1054914 For the first request, you can already use var.<project>.TargetDir to get what you want. For the second request. I'm not going to change ConfigurationName because that's the standard .NET name for the configuration. However, I could add another variable, such as Flavor, that would attempt to parse the configuration name for either "Debug", "Release", or "Ship". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: petemounce (pfm102) Date: 2005-04-27 04:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1229953 In VS.NET's C# properties dialog, it's possible to set pre/post-build events. These allow macros to be used. One of those is OutDir, which gives the directory that I want - I guess it'd be good to follow the naming conventions already in place if any new preprocessor variables for WiX come along. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642717&aid=1190300&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
