I'm trying to migrate some projects from VC6 to Visual Studio 2010 but I'm running into issues with makefiles - at the moment they don't work! (Which was expected).
Any ideas or pointers how they should be written now (before it was a line beginning with msdev... which cannot be found now, is there an up to date equivalent to use? I read about vcbuild but I believe this is not present in VS10).
Is it possible to just build a whole project in one line?
i.e. the current line to build is:
msdev project.dsp /MAKE "$(component) - Win32 Release" /build
Any ideas what this would change to?
The VS2010 app name is devenv. From the command line, as long as you've run the right vcvars32.bat file, just type devenv /? to get the command line build help. Essentially, it's:
devenv solutionfile.sln /Build "Release"
So once you upgrade your projects and create a solution, you should be ok. There may be a way to build a project without a solution file, but I don't know how to do that.
