I would like to use Sublime Text 2 to build my Visual Studio 2010 solutions.
So far I have this:
Menu item Tools > Build System > New Build System...
{
"cmd": ["c:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\MSBuild.exe"]
}
I get this error:
MSBUILD : error MSB1003: Specify a project or solution file. The
current working directory does not contain a project or solution file.
I'm wondering how I specify a project folder directory in the build file.
I got it to work by modifying the build system file C:\Users\dave\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\User\msbuild.sublime-build like this:
{
"cmd": ["c:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\MSBuild.exe"],
"working_dir": "${project_path:${folder:${file_path}}}"
}
I looked at an existing build configuration that shipped with Sublime to figure it out:
C:\Users\myUser\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text
2\Packages\Makefile\Make.sublime-build
There is now a full MSBuild package for Sublime Text 2 that includes syntax highlighting and completion in addition to build system integration. You can install it using Package Control or directly from https://github.com/tillig/SublimeMSBuild.
Here is reference to all features of Sublime's Build System.
The error message is because you did not specify what you wanted to build. See the MSBuild Command Line Reference. At the very least you need to specify a project file:
MSBuild MySolution.sln
MSBuild MyProject.csproj
MSBUild MyMSBuildScript.proj
