This tab of the Make VC6 action configures additional options.

 

 

Log dependencies found in workspace: If checked, when building a multi-project workspace, each project's dependencies on other projects in the workspace will be logged.

 

Additional command-Line options: This action invokes the MSDEV command-line program to perform the builds, and this option can be used to specify additional flags to pass to the tools.  For instance, MSDEV supports a /USEENV flag to ignore the Tools|Options|Directories settings.  Details on the MSDEV flags are covered here.  The values entered in this field are passed through directly to the command-line program.

 

Override default MSDEV location: If blank, the command-line MSDEV compiler is automatically located by looking for the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\msdev.exe\ and extracting out the exe filename.  For Embedded Visual C++, the registry entries HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\evc4.exe\ (and evc.exe\)are searched and used if found.  By providing a full path and filename for this field, the command-line executable specified will be used rather than looking it up. 

 

Display the compiler command-line: Logs the command-line details for each project that is built. This can be useful for debugging purposes.
