Hi All,
I'm trying to switch from devenv to msbuild on the command line so we can
use the /m parallel build option. On devenv, I just build the ALL_BUILD
target and it builds properly. However, on msbuild, there are two issues.
1. If I specify the ALL_BUILD target on the command line directly, I get
the following errors. (... used to remove large paths)
*c:\tmp\...>msbuild c:\tmp\...\mysolution.sln /t:ALL_BUILD
/p:Configuration=Release /m || goto :ERROR

What is different with the ALL_BUILD target between msbuild and devenv? I
must be calling things improperly on the command line, but I'm not sure
what.
2. If I instead leave ALL_BUILD off and just let it build the defaults, it
gets further, but it also trys to build targets that are not enabled with
the "all" target by default like our unit tests which we add through a
hierarchy of targets like "run_tests_...".
*c:\tmp\...>msbuild c:\tmp\...\mysolution.sln /p:Configuration=Release
/m || goto :ERROR
*
Should calling msbuild on just the solution build only the "all" target by
default, or does mbuild just build everything in the solution ignoring the
"all" target stuff?
Thanks!
