| Notes on vc 7.1 ide project files |
| ================================= |
| |
| These project files use the directory structure created by the Boost Build system. |
| This means that BJAM has to have been run at least once for the directories to |
| be created in the expected places. Once this has been done, one should be able |
| to rebuild/rerun any demo or test from within the VC 7 IDE. |
| |
| There are a large number of project configurations. There is one for each permitted |
| boost configuration. E.G. Debug runtime-dynamic, Debug runtime-static threading-mulit, |
| etc. which correspond to boost build configurations. |
| |
| For tests which are designed to be run with different types of archives, the number |
| of project configurations is mulitplied by 5 - one for each type archive. For example, for |
| Debug runtime-static there exists Debug runtime-static text_archive, |
| Debug runtime-static text_warchive, ... Debug runtime-static xml_warchive. |
| |
| By selecting the appropriate configuration it should be possible to replicate the |
| behavior of the failed test from withing the IDE. This is helpful in debugging. |
| |
| After each test is built, it is run and the ouput is shown in the IDE Output window. |
| |
| Note that the fact that all configurations are not valid for all tests precludes building |
| the all the tests from withing the IDE in one batch. |
