[xsd-users] Visual Studio rule file does not work with IncrediBuild

[Nick John]

Hi,

 

The xsd-cxx-tree.rules file in etc\vc-8.0 does not work with
IncrediBuild in Visual Studio 2005. This is because the rule file is
relying on the [AllOptions] in the command line to be expanded with the
OutDir property first. With IncrediBuild this is not the case.

 

The solution is remove the -output-dir from the command line:

 

    xsd.exe cxx-tree [AllOptions] [AdditionalOptions] [Inputs]

 

and add it into the switch for the OutDir property (--output-dir
[value])

 

You then need to change the Outputs field to be:

 

 
"[$OutDir]\$(InputName)[$HeaderSuffix];[$OutDir]\$(InputName)[$SourceSuf
fix]"

 

Note the '$' chars inside the square brackets ('[',']') means you get
the actual value of the property rather than the switch value for the
property.

 

See the attached rule file.

 

Cheers,

Nick
