This tab of the Make VS.NET action configures additional options.

 

 

MSBuild logging level: Specifies the MSBuild logging level for build output.  This option applies only when building Visual Studio 2005/2008 projects or solutions with MSBuild.

 

Note: For VC++ projects and solutions, full build output can be obtained by using a log level of Diagnostic or by specifying vcbuild.exe in the Override field.

 

Additional command-line options: This action invokes the devenv.com, msbuild.exe, or vcbuild.exe command-line program to perform builds, and this option can be used to specify additional flags to pass to the tool.  Details on the DEVENV flags are covered here.  The values entered in this field are passed through directly to the command-line program.

 

Override default DEVENV/MSBUILD/VCBUILD location: If this field is blank, the action will automatically locate the correct devenv.com or msbuild.exe compiler to perform the build.  For Visual Studio 2005/2008, this action locates and calls msbuild.exe (installed with the .NET Framework 2.0 or later); for Visual Studio 2002/2003, it invokes the appropriate devenv.com compiler for the specified project or solution version.

 

For Visual Studio 2005/2008, enter devenv in this field to force the project or solution to be built with devenv.com rather than msbuild.exe. (required for solutions containing Setup & Deployment or Intel C++ Compiler projects or to workaround issues for projects that MSBuild fails to build). Or enter a value of vcbuild to build VC++-only solutions or projects using vcbuild.exe.

 

To explicitly specify the compiler executable to use, enter a full path and filename for devenv.com , vcbuild.exe, or msbuild.exe in this field to use that executable rather than the default.

 

Display the compiler command-line: Logs the DEVENV/MSBUILD/VCBUILD command-line that is used to perform builds.
