Do you mean build from the command line? I did that at my
previous job where we were using cmake and had made the
directory structure very neat, and all of the VS stuff was
separate from the actual code, since we didn't build in the
source directories, but at my current job, everything was set
up with VS by folks who use VS for everything, and the
directory structure is a complete mess, making doing stuff from
the command line a lot messier than it should be.
Doesn't msbuild build it? We have our projects set up with VS
too, and it's built by msbuild just fine in a single command. In
fact one of our developers builds the solution from command line
too and he uses CLI TFS cilent.
So, we could have had decent source control, but we're stuck
with TFS instead - probably because most of the devs involved
are too Windows-centric.
TFS is also a bug tracker integrated with source control, like
Fossil.
And given how messy the TFS branching stuff is (e.g. it doesn't
retain history when merging)
It shows commit history as a tree for me with branches where they
came from.
