Unable to build VS solution from command line

henry.chen · #1 10-20-2003, 11:19 PM

I am new to Visual Build Pro. I try to build VS.Net solution from the command line. I entered command

c:>"c:\program files\VisBuildPro\VisBuildCmd.exe" "C:\Solution\Solution.sln" /nooutput >>c:\temp\buildlog.log

I got followin error in the log file:
VisBuildCmd, Version 5.0.2.3
Copyright (C) 1999-2003 Kinook Software, Inc. All rights reserved.

Error loading project file: Error parsing document 'C:\Solution\Solution.sln': syntax error

Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?

Thank you in advance,

Richard Z.

First, you need to start the VisBuildPro GUI app and create a new project with a Make VS.NET action (one quick way to do this is by right-clicking the .sln file in Explorer and choosing 'Make with Visual Build Pro'). Configure the step properties as needed, and save the .bld file; then specify the .bld file in your VisBuildCmd command-line call. See 'command-line->console app' for the flags that the console app understands.
