MSBuild no output

[Steve]

I have a makefile project which is set up to build a .dll file like this:

I tried upgrading this project to use MSBuild. It still builds successfully but no longer outputs anything. I opened the project property pages and changed “Configuration Properties -> General -> Project defaults -> Configuration type” to “Dynamic library (.dll)”. Didn’t make a difference though.
Output directory, target name, target exension are correct. But nothing is output to the output directory any more.

What could be wrong here?

Please try changing MSBuild verbosity via Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Build and Run.

If it does not help, please attach a screenshot of the Output window and we will help you diagnose this.

I just realized that even though I am building for the platform “VisualGDB” the properties window opens by default the settings for the platform “Win32”. Just had to choose the correct platform from the property window and redo the changes. Whoops.
