Devenv has a side effect that msbuild does not; devenv writes to the
most recently used projects, msbuild does not. So I can keep using
visual studio to build my other c# projects that I work on, and even
have references to them in most recently used.
I have added to my toplevel cmakes a check for msbuild to set that
before the cmake default script checks; but this doesn't fix the
CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE.sln that's used by cmake itself; so running a series
of builds ends up basically obliterating the most recently used files
with CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE's.
So, the trouble is the Intel Fortran plugin. It does not work with
msbuild. I realized Fortran is a small part of the user base. However,
it simply fails if you try to use msbuild. So, if there is a project
with Fortran, you have to use devenv. We used to use msbuild, but made
the switch to support Fortran. The trycompile stuff showing up in the
recent projects seems to be a somewhat recent thing, I don't think it
used to do that. I wonder if there is a way to use devenv from the
command line and have it not save to the recently used?
Seems not:
