Build visul studio 2008 solution?

FinalBuilder Discussion

We have a dedicated builder machine which FB 5.5 is installed.

 

I have some actions to get latest codes from SVN server. There are a bunch of visul studio 2008 solutions from SVN. The Solutions are created in VS 2008 prof version. Each solution is a group of related projects. How can I easier set up an action to build a solution in FB 5.5? Hope I don't have to figure the sequence and build each project separately.

 

Thanks.

Hi Kan,

First off, you’ll need to be using a recent version of FB 5.5 for VS 2008 support. Build 5.5.0.707 is available on the FB Download page.

Then, you can either use the “Build VS.NET Solution” action or the “MSBuild Project” action to build solution files. I’d recommend the former action. You don’t even need VS 2008 to be installed on your build machine, if you’ve got .NET Framework 3.5. Just enable the “Use MSBuild” option in the “Build VS.NET Solution” action.

Please let us know if you need more information.

Regards,

Angus
