I have some default project include macros in Visual Studio 2012 (C++) (Project Properties/VC++ Directories/Include Directories). Instead of just using for example $(SomeMacroRootPath) I want to change the value of "Include Directories" to another one, for example: $(SomeOtherRootPath)/sdk/Include;$(SomeOtherRootPath)/sdk/Include2
&(SomeMacroRootPath) includes several(!) different default pathes for example: C:\Programm Files (x86)\name\appdata... that are really long. Because of that, the the "string/value" I can see in the list if I press the Macros Button in the settings tab (that Button that shows me the list of all Macros) are cut off. Nothing happens if I resize the window or the table column thing at the top.
Unfortunately I need to see all pathes that &(SomeMacroRootPath) contains.
Is there a cmd echo command or is there any chance to look at the full "string" of the macro/variable/string?
I don't know exactly where the macros are defined or where they come from.
Kind Regards
Ok I found a workaround by myself. I created a Post-Build Event
Command Line: echo $(SomeMacroRootPath)
Use In Build: Yes
Now Visual Studio prints the full path into the output without cutting it off after I rebuild the project.
It would be nice to just see it in the settings when I resize the column. But okay, things are never easy :)
Kind Regards Nisi
