Category: votive Group: None Status: Open Priority: 8 Private: No Submitted By: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) Assigned to: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) Summary: Add solution and project variables back to Votive v3 Initial Comment: Votive v2 had a feature which has not yet been added back to Votive v3, and that is automatically defining the following preprocessor variables as part of the build. You should be able to right mouse click on the .wixproj file’s "References" node and add a project reference to another project in your solution (a C# DLL project, for example). Once you have one or more project references in your .wixproj file, then before the compile happens, I generate 10 sets of preprocessor definitions per project. For example, if my reference project was named MyCSharpProject, then I’d have the following preprocessor definitions: $(var.MyCSharpProject.ProjectDir) – example C:\MySolution\MyCSharpProject\ $(var.MyCSharpProject.ProjectExt) – example .csproj $(var.MyCSharpProject.ProjectFileName) – example MyCSharpProject.csproj $(var.MyCSharpProject.ProjectName) – example MyCSharpProject $(var.MyCSharpProject.ProjectPath) – example C:\MySolution\MyCSharpProject\MyCSharpProject.csproj $(var.MyCSharpProject.TargetDir) – example C:\MySolution\MyCSharpProject\bin\Debug\ $(var.MyCSharpProject.TargetExt) – example .dll $(var.MyCSharpProject.TargetFileName) – example MyCSharp.dll $(var.MyCSharpProject.TargetName) – example MyCSharp $(var.MyCSharpProject.TargetPath) – example C:\MySolution\MyCSharpProject\bin\Debug\MyCSharp.dll This then lets you do things like this in your wxs file: <Component Id=”MyCSharpProjectComponent” Guid=”…”> <File Id=”MyCSharpProjectOutput.dll” Name=”$(var.MyCSharpProject.TargetFileName)” Source=”$(var.MyCSharpProject.TargetPath)” KeyPath=”yes” /> </Component> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) Date: 2007-05-14 13:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1054914 Originator: YES I already have a local fix and plan to check in for next week's build. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Doug S (tpaxatb) Date: 2007-05-14 13:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1342505 Originator: NO I've created a poor-man's version of this partially (by hijacking the ResolveProjectReferences target from Microsoft.Common.targets and adding that to a CustomAfterWixTargets file and depending AfterResolveReferences on this target) but is there any word on an ETA for this feature in an 'official' build? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: HeO (heo) Date: 2007-03-01 06:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1732464 Originator: NO Adjustment of priority highly appreciated :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642717&aid=1585281&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
