Compiling MP-II and generating a report

[James]

Hi all developers,

Due to the interest in compiling MP-II without Visual Studio. I have updated the build batch files, so that it can be compilied with MSBuild (included in the .NET 2.0 install).

I know compiling on the command line with a batch file doesn't give great feedback. So I wrote a small program that converts the MSBuild output into a nice format. (see screen shot below)

This should be helpful to check when building in a non supported system (Visual Studio Express, icSharp, .. ). You can compare your results with those provided by MSBuild and see if any projects/file are being missed.

A full set of build batch files can be found in the \Build directory.

MSBUILD_Build_Report_Release_x86.bat -> compile a release build and create report
MSBUILD_Rebuild_Release_x86.bat -> compile a release build

(there is also a set of batch files for compiling with VS2005).

Compiling the system has never been so easy
