I’m trying to set up the build and debug environment for an existing project that currently is Windows only, and has a couple dozen projects in the solution. We will be extending support to both Linux and MacOS. VisualGDB seems like a good option, given that we can have a single set of tools for the dev team to use for developing on all three platforms. Most developers will have dedicated systems for each of the three operating systems. I have seen how I can set up per-user variables in each project to customize things like target machine, username, source and target file locations, etc. However, I don’t want everyone to have to enter the same information a couple dozen times (once for each project). I do not currently see a way of setting per-solution variables for each user. Am I missing the setting, or does it not exist?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi,
VisualGDB currently does not support solution-wide variables. However, you can use 2 mechanisms to define things globally:
- Use SSH host aliases (see the SSH Host Manager window) to avoid hardcoding machine names in your projects.
- Reference environment variables using the same syntax as the per-project variables: $(VarName).
If this is insufficient, please let us know your scenario so that we could suggest a better solution.
