windows - Generate Solution with dependencies for building VS 2010 with hundreds of projects -

-

we have few hundred visual studio project files need assemble solution building. have custom ruby script, uses rake, this. fragile, , allows few visual studio macros ( $(targetdir),$(targetname), etc...) through, , failing on rest. plus grammar of ruby rubs me perl: wrong way.

so question is, given directory there tool recursively find all .vcxproj , .csproj files , generate solution file dependencies? when 'with dependencies' means projects need built before others. found other posts here on stack overflow pointed tool generates solution files: doesn't generate dependencies. therefore without dependencies solution creation tool useless. know of this?

if not solution file, know of emit dependency list?

p.s. , before asks: creating solution file manually out of question. have way many project files.

so question is, given directory there tool recursively find all .vcxproj , .csproj files , generate solution file dependencies?

no.

what you're asking reasonable; approach problem quite rational. unfortunately, tools haven't kept you. (we had same problem.)

you're going have script yourself, or otherwise customize tools. that's did. successful approaches i've seen include:

  1. generate *.vcproj/*.sln "reference project definitions", using tools cmake, qmake, scons, or gyp. our main system sits on scons, our custom python code navigate these dependencies, generate solutions based on projects (spidering dependencies). default, generate "complete" solution each project (including required supporting projects), plus "master projects" solution. works well. but, custom work took effort, , extended scons describe our projects (but rely on scons generation of *.sln , *.vcproj).

  2. write custom tool "find" these dependencies parsing *.vcproj files in workspace. work, can done. files can "tricky" navigate, might fine "good enough" solution uses guids hash keys generate dependencies.

i totally agree you: type of stuff (project dependencies) prohibitively difficult maintain manually when move beyond "simple" (e.g., many dozens of projects, yes, have hundreds).

sorry. msvs pretty ide (intended iterative development), , terrible build configuration management system, , not designed we're talking about.

because care sanity , everlasting soul, please please please not attempt write custom solution in msbuild.

Cursor error with postgresql, pgpool and php -

hey, struggling bit determine exact cause of error has been popping in our release environment. there not seem dealing particular error on google. this error message getting: sqlstate[34000]: invalid cursor name: 7 error: portal "" not exist the error pops when using pdo prepared statements. this setup our release environment: pgpool 3.0.1 (the postgresql backend in streaming replication mode!) php 5.3.5 postgresql 9.0 edit: architecture 64bit. the same error not manifest in our test environment (edit: forgot mention, standard test environment uses postgresql 9.0 without pgpool). thus, led suspect pgpool @ least partly suspect. does know probable causes error are? edit: ok, here example of kind of code causes error. $sql = 'select * '; $sql .= 'from "mytable" "mystuff" '; $sql .= 'where "mytable"."status" = 1 '; $sql .= 'and "mytable"."mytableid" = :table...

delphi - ESC/P programming! -

why need use because printers using tprinter prints weird hieroglyph @ beginning of printable area. my problem if send commands, nothing happens. esc e (#27 #69) - sending escape sequence didn't work expected. removed first letter , rest of string made bold. eg. hello -> ello . after changed esc e esc (#27 #69 #27), worked fine. example managed figure out, but... trying select character table "esc t n" (#27 #116 n), make "õäöü" work. command doesn't work. nothing happens! , command supported esc/p, esc/p 2 , 9-pin esc/p, should work fine. manual can found here . if has ever needed use esc/p commands maybe 1 can shed light how work them! thanks in advance! edit: in previous post asked more or less same question though answers how did send commands printer. (i'll change question there according answers!) i accepted ken's answer, because claimed way transferred commands wasn't best , got work escape command. problem after t...

i've been working on c++ code friend has written , following error have never seen before when compiling gcc4.6: error: use of deleted function ‘gamefsm_<std::array<c, 2ul> >::hdealt::hdealt()’ implicitly deleted because default definition ill-formed: uninitialized non-static const member ‘const h_t floppokergamefsm_<std::array<c, 2ul> >::hdealt::h’ edit: comes part of code using boost msm: boost webpage edit2: there no = delete() used anywhere in sourcecode. generally speaking, error mean? should looking when type of error occurs? i don't think other answers mentioning =deleted; syntax correct. error message says default constructor has been deleted implicitly . says why: class contains non-static, const variable, not initialized default ctor. class x { const int x; }; since x::x const , must initialized -- default ctor wouldn't initialize (because it's pod type). therefore, default ctor, need define 1 (and must ...
