Category: votive >Group: v3.0 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Doug S (tpaxatb) Assigned to: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) Summary: Solution Build Issues (build 2911) Initial Comment: A build using wixproj files in a solution will fail if the .wxs projects refer to $(var.SolutionDir) and there are no C# projects in the solution. The error is that the Solution variables (SolutionDir, SolutionFile, etc) are not passed to the .wixproj properly unless there is a C# project in the solution. <exerpt from build window>: 2> Task "Candle" 2> Command: candle.exe -d"SolutionDir=*Undefined if not building a solution or within Visual Studio*" Using build 2911 Workaround is to include a dummy C# project in the solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Rob Mensching (robmen) Date: 2008-05-15 22:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=991639 Originator: NO Justin wasn't clear, to use SolutionDir you need to build the solution or be in VS in the context of the solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Doug S (tpaxatb) Date: 2008-01-31 09:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1342505 Originator: YES Is this fixed? i still have issues with the latest (3.0.3725) build in VS2005 when no C#/VB project is in the solution... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) Date: 2007-05-18 00:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1054914 Originator: NO The problem is that C#/VB projects define these variables and not Visual Studio itself. The fix is that I define these properties before a build within Visual Studio. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1717966&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
