I’m using the devenv command line to build a quite large project. Sometimes it happens that some depends aren’t set up correctly and cause a continuous build. It’s quite difficult to find the real cause of the issue.
I’m looking for a devenv option, which tells me why a target needs to be built. Any ideas?
On Linux i’m using the GNU make tool and it has the option ‘–dry-run’ and i’m looking for a similar option for devenv.
I suggest you to use MSBuild instead of devenv. It is too much faster and does not load the GUI for building your project. I also propose you to consider the dependencies one by one in your build script instead of building your fat solution directly.
