Is it possible to see which commands are actually executed by Microsoft Visual C++

  • 0

Is it possible to see which commands are actually executed by Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express when it builds a solution/project? I found out that in the Configuration Properties of a solution there is a Command Line window for both the compiler (C/C++) and the linker (Linker) but that does not really show all parameters (e. g. source and object/binary files).

I would like to see the commands in order to write a nmake build script that I can use to compile/link binaries for both the x86 and x64 platform.

    You can set the output of a Visual Studio build to be detailed. Go to menu Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> Build and Run. Change the MSBuild project build output verbosity option, typically from the default Minimal to Normal, Detailed or Diagnostic.

    Also take a look at /VERBOSE (Print Progress Messages) to set the linker output more verbose.
