I hate to plug a commercial product on this mailing list, but Xoreax's IncrediBuild software allows you to do Visual Studio builds (including Batch Builds) over a network using numerous Build Helper PCs (it also takes advantage of all processors in multi-CPU PCs). We've used it on VS 2002, VS 2003, and VS 2005 and it works great with the OSG codebase.
I wish there was an open-source alternative that perfomed the same function and plugged directly into Visual Studio IDE like IncrediBuild. Anyone out there know of an open source alternative? -john > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Can Özmen > Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 10:13 AM > To: osg users > Subject: Re: [osg-users] parallel builds with Windows/VS8 > > Hi everyone, > > Regarding the parallel build, I guess there is no way of > building both debug and release configurations in parallel > through the Batch Build menu, right?
