I think you are understanding the situation correctly. However, I have been meaning to (and haven't had the time to yet) create a simple batch file that fires off an entire solution build from the command line, one command for Debug and one for Release. Seems like I ought to be able to CVS update from this batch file as well. Then I can just set it up to run overnight and I don't really care if it runs in parallel or not.
One problem with this approach (which is not an issue if I could just use batch builds) is that it comes to a grinding halt if the build fails for any reason. So I'll need to be sure I have all the 3rd party dependencies in place so that all plugins build, even the ones I don't necessarily care about. This should not be this painful! :-( -Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Can Özmen > Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 8:13 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?
