Question

Enlighten me please… I have a buildserver that runs MSBUILD to build projects done in C++ Builder 2010. I wanted to setup that entire setup on my local machine to be able to work on the build scripts without messing up the live build server. But I was wondering how MSBUILD knew how to work with C++ Builder projects.

Then I read that a file called Borland.Group.Targets was the magic piece. But I can’t find it anywhere. I looked at Embarcaderos site, Microsoft’s site, the C++ builder and MSBUILD installations etc. What is it, where do I get it and how does it work?

(My guess is that it’s a file with “rules” telling MSBUILD how to handle C++ Builder projects, but that doesn’t help if I can’t find the file… hehe)

Answer 1

Are you asking how to build a project via the command line? Make a .cmd file like so:

@ECHO OFF
call rsvars.bat

msbuild.exe MyProject.cbproj /t:clean /p:Config=Release
msbuild.exe MyProject.cbproj /t:build /p:Config=Release
