- I am trying to perform builds in an NT environment using Visual C++4.1. I
- want a consistant build algorithm that does not change with the type of build.
- I want to have a reference build (CM stable build), an integration build, and
- a local build. I want the build algorithm to look first in the local
- workspace for source, obj, lib and exe files. If not found it should look in
- the integration workspace. If not found it should look in the reference
- workspace.
-
- I can do this under VAX/VMS with MMS and logical search lists. I can also do
- it with Unix. I can do it with Windows or NT using the subst command and the
- Borland IDE directory search lists. I have not found a way to do it with
- Visual C++4.1. The project appears to hardcode the source path when files are
- added to it. NT doesn't appear to support the VMS or Unix aliases to use the
- same drive letter or device name for multiple directories.
-
- Any suggestions?
