How to build TBB using VS2015 x64 from the command line?
I want to build Intel Threading Building Blocks from the command line using Visual Studio 2015 x64. I downloaded the last stable version from https://www.threadingbuildingblocks.org/.
The directory tbb2017_20161128oss\build\vs2012 contains besides some other files:
makefile.sln
tbb.vcxproj
tbbmalloc.vcxproj
tbbmalloc_proxy.vcxproj
To build the Debug version of TBB I tried the following command in a VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt:
Devenv makefile.sln /build Debug /project tbb
But I get the following error:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Version 14.0.25420.1.

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
The problem here is that the VS2012 files need to be upgraded. When I open the file makefile.sln manually these windows pops up:
If I hit the "OK" button and retry env makefile.sln /build Debug /project tbb again everything works fine.
Since I plan to build TBB on several computers this manual task is annoying. Can it be avoided? Is there a way to upgrade a solution from the command line?
You should run devenv makefile.sln /upgrade before build command.
