Command Line in project properties RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hello,

    I was looking through the project properties and saw the command line tab. What is this exactly?

    I'm trying to create a makefile that includes the files in this project and thought that the command line property may help. Am I correct?

    Sorry if it is hard to understand, I am fairly new to these things.

    Thanks

    When you actually run the program from the Visual Studio IDE, the command line is used to specify parameters that your program can parse and use, as if you actually ran your program from a console session.

    Nope. It won't help at all.

    But why create a makefile at all? Just call devenv.exe /Build from the command line if you want to build your project. For more details, read this.
