Building in a Windows Terminal

• Open a command terminal (choose Run on the Start menu and type cmd in the dialogue box) and type

   devenv xxx.sln /make all
  

  where xxx is the name of the application. This will create both the debug and release versions of the application executable. If you want to compile only one of them, type

   devenv xxx.sln /make "all - debug"
  

  or

   devenv xxx.sln /make "all - release"
  

  For each command, the executable user will be created in Debug $\backslash$ and/or Release $\backslash$ directories.

• To test the executable, type

   Debug\xxx.exe -F ..\..\sample.xxx
  

• If the source files for the application are modified, type

   devenv user.sln /make all /rebuild
  

  in order to clean and rebuild everything.
