  • 0

I’m trying to build a new to me Visual C++ project (building it from within the IDE), it compiles fine but looks like it fails in a post build step, see output below. I want to somehow disable this step, but I can’t find where it’s defined. I’ve done a text search of all the files but find no reference to the machine name sl-fc-1. Where is this post build step being defined?

Thank you,
Fred

    Custom build tasks can be in one of two places. Right click on your project, select Properties, then check:

    1. Configuration Properties|Build Events|Post-Build Event
    2. Configuration Properties|Custom Build Step|General

    If you have multiple projects in your solution check all of them.
    If you don’t see a reference to a copy to \sl-fc-1 you may have a reference to a batch file that does this copy. I recommend that you disable all the post-build tasks one by one until you find the one that does this.

    Good luck.
