I need to get a hold of every flag, every switch used in the build process by the Visual Studio binaries. I tried to obtain a verbose output by using vcbuild
, but I wasn't able.
What do I have to do to see everything performed by Visual Studio for me? It's not necessary to obtain the output in the build window. Anywhere would be fine.
Menu Tools → Options → Projects and Solutions → Build and Run → MSBuild project build output verbosity: Diagnostic
Visual Studio 2008:
Go to menu Tools → Options then Project and Solutions → Build and Run section. You have a combo box for verbosity.
C++ compiler option (project properties):
- Preprocessor - Generate Preprocessed
File for seeing the translation unit
as generated by preprocessor
- Advanced - Show includes - display
included file names at compiler
output
If you're running MSBuild, you can set the /v:diag flag.
In Visual Studio go to your project and right click on it and select properties. In Linker there is a command line option. There you have all the options and you can add your custom ones. Add /VERBOSE
and when linking Visual Studio will show a lot more information.
