I'm used to working with VS2005 and 2008 - with msbuild, etc., but I have inherited a set of projects that currently remain in vc6.0. I do not like to open every project in the studio and the developer building. I prefer to build a command line form (I automate the build). Is it possible?
I tried the nmake utility, but I still need to open the projects and save / export the make file. This is tedious if the project changes - every time I have to save a make file. nmake seems to work, but I had a problem when I changed the location of the project in my directory tree (I checked svn for a new clean directory to try building). It seemed to have hardcoded paths in it, but I would need to check this out - it could be another problem.
Any alternatives out there?
In the end, I will transfer them to 2008, but so far this is not an option.
