Problem with added folder not being sent to build server

[sidprice]

I had to add a folder to my project hierarchy to hold what will become some system wide header files. The folder structure is:

[…] [Main Folder] [Project_One]

[…] [Main Folder] [Project_Two]

[…][Main Folder] [System_Wide]

Several projects need to make use of these system wide headers.

I have added the system wide folder as a local directory for Intellisense but I can’t see to get the folder synchronized with the build server (a remote Linux machine).

Many thanks,

Sid

Hi,

You can configure VisualGDB to upload that extra directory by adding a custom pre-build step to your project (requires Custom edition or higher). Alternatively you can create a dummy Linux project that will have that directory selected as the main source directory and won’t actually build anything. Then each time Visual Studio tries to build that project, the directory will be uploaded automatically.

OK, adding an extra project to get the common folder does seem to work, I need to think about upgrading to “Custom”, it seems expensive just to have this one feature, however maybe there are other features that I may need in the future. Since I am developing with remote computer and separate ARM deployment machine are there other features you think I may need that would make the upgrade appear less expensive :o)

Thank you for your support,

Sid

Hi,

Yes, the biggest feature from the Custom edition is the integrated unit test support. It also supports advanced real-time watch and many other usability features.

You can find a full list of the Custom edition features here: http://visualgdb.com/buy/custom
