Project dependencies not building with VisualGDB.exe in commandline

[Abhishek]

I am trying to build visualGDB project from commandline. it works fine except when there are dependent projects it does not build the dependent project.

with the same configuration run from Visual studio builds the dependent project.

Game is the startUp Project and Framework project is dependent on Game.

VisualGDB: Run “make CONFIG=BuildMachineGeneric clean” in directory “/tmp/VisualGDB/i/Projects/Emilio162008/Year_1/Block_C/Games/RaspberryPi_Game/Game” on pi@169.254.150.119 (SSH)
rm -rf BuildMachineGeneric
VisualGDB: Found 385 source files to transfer. Checking the source cache to find modified files…
VisualGDB: Sending 385 updated source files to build machine…
VisualGDB: Run “make CONFIG=BuildMachineGeneric” in directory “/tmp/VisualGDB/i/Projects/Emilio162008/Year_1/Block_C/Games/RaspberryPi_Game/Game” on pi@169.254.150.119 (SSH)

Command exited with code 2

this is my Python script calling VisualGDB.exe

arg1 = ‘/rebuild’
arg2 = r”I:\Projects\Emilio162008\Year_1\Block_C\Games\RaspberryPi_Game\Game\Game.vcxproj”
arg3 = ‘/solution:’+r”I:\Projects\Emilio162008\Year_1\Block_C\Games\RaspberryPi_Game\RaspberryPi_Game.sln”
arg4 = ‘/config:BuildMachineGeneric’
arg5 = ‘/platform:Win32’

p = subprocess.call([VisualGDB, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5])

Any solution?

Hi,

This is by design. VisualGDB relies on Visual Studio to handle the project dependencies. Please either create a .bat file that will build all the projects, or build the .sln file by running devenv.exe or msbuild.exe from command line.

[Abhishek]

thanks for the information.

I am using msbuild now to run the sln.

I can see the dependent projects in the arguments, but then VisualGDB has some path issue. can’t figure out why?

My path variable has : C:\Program Files (x86)\Sysprogs\VisualGDB

and VisualStudio project setting has rebuild path: “$(VISUALGDB_DIR)\VisualGDB.exe” /rebuild “$(ProjectPath)” “/solution:$(SolutionPath)” “/config:$(Configuration)” “/platform:$(Platform)”

Hi,

Perhaps something in your setup is removing the environment variable before launching msbuild?

Please try running “echo %VISUALGDB_DIR%” just before launching MSBuild. This should output the VISUALGDB_DIR variable.

[Abhishek]

thanks!

indeed that was the problem. Running cmd as an administrator seems to take the right path of VisualGDB. don’t know why though.

Anyways thanks a lot
