How to configure Incredibuild

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

Bonjour,

I have setup FinalBuilder to build a MS-Visual Studio 2005 project using “Build VS.Net Solution” actions.
I have tried to use the “IncrediBuild”-action to speed-up the compilation, but the action fails (no errors logged).
As there are no further information in the help-file, I would like to ask if somebody has made some experience with this action.
I have defined the .sln in the target-property, but I do not know, were to define the project-configurations to be build.

Thanks in advance for any help,

A+

Hi Oliver,

Just some basic stuff to start with… have you set the path to Incredibuild in Tools | Options | Compilers category | Incredibuild?

Does Incredibuild run properly if you run it from the command line?

Salut,

Yes I have set the path to IncrediBuild.
IncrediBuild works fine, if I use it from VS or the Tray-Icon.

As I have not so much experience with IncrediBuild, I do not know how to start it from a command-line (Could you please explain to make the test ?).

Is there a special version of IncrediBuild required ?
I’m using version 2.60 Build 681.

Thanks for your answer,

Salut,

I found the solution.
Rather than using the .sln, I’m using directly the .vcproj files.
This works fine (compile-time drops from 1:30h to 11min).

Anyway thanks for the help,

A+
