Visual C ++项目对多种体系结构的依赖

Question

I have a Visual C++ solution with multiple projects. One of the projects (let's name it Project 1) depends on both x86 and x64 versions of another Project 2. It means that when doing a rebuild of Project 1, no matter which architecture is selected I want both x86 and x64 versions of Project 2 to be compiled, prior to Project 1.

Standard Project Dependency feature doesn't allow to specify dependency on multiple architectures. Is there any way to accomplish this task?

Answer 1

Visual C++ has a command line compiler.

You can execute it on the project you need built, or split your code into multiple slns and tell the command line to build the slns.

This dependency can be set up as a custom build step, or you could go and write a makefile that describes your project dependencies and replace your sln build with that.

Answer 2

You can use a Custom Build Step or Custom Build Event to call msbuild twice, once for each architecture. This is how Visual Studio builds projects, so you are effectively recursively calling the build system.
