build-process

I'm starting deployment of my web application and I need to guarantee that all the assemblies that are going to be deployed were built using Release configuration. Our system was developed using C#/.Net 3.5. Is there any way to achieve this? David Check this . The idea is that you get the list of assembly attributes using Assembly.GetCustomAttributes() and search for DebuggableAttribute and then find if such attribute has IsJITTrackingEnabled property set. public bool IsAssemblyDebugBuild(Assembly assembly) { return assembly.GetCustomAttributes(false).OfType<DebuggableAttribute>().Any(da => da

Colleagues have been touting the wonders of maven and its magical dependency stuff but I'm finding that it fails at what I would consider the obvious use. Suppose I have a root folder with a master POM. Then underneath I have some projects, call them A and B B requires A and so the POM in the B folder has the appropriate dependency entry in it Now, back in the root folder, in a profile, I specify that I want to build B. When I perform the usual mvn clean install, I get a failure because A was not built. My friends tell me I have to specify both A and B in that main profile in the root. But isn

I have a big solution with more than 40 projects. Almost half of them are test projects. In my project we use both Code Contracts, Code Analysis, Style Analysis. I want to be able to build the projects that are not dependent in parallel on my quad core CPU. How can I setup msbuild to build the projects in parallel? In Visual Studio: Tools | Options | Projects and Solutions | Build and Run. This should default to your CPU count. From the command line: msbuild /maxcpucount[:n] (is n is not specified, then it will use the CPU count). You could launch the build in MSBuild in parallel by : Setting

i'm wondering if there is any nice and neat tool to replace the GNU Autotools or Make to build a very large C++ project, which are such a complicated thing to use. It is simple to generate all the files that de Autotools require if the project is small, but if the source code is divided in many directories, with multiple third party libraries and many dependencies, you fall into the "Autotools Hell".. thanks for any recommendations The Google V8 JavaScript Engine is written in C++ and uses SCons , so I guess that's one vote for it. CMake ? (generates makefiles, so technically not a replacement

I have a project that has: JS client with somewhat interesting build process. That includes compiling CSS, catenating and minifying JS and CSS, generating and processing HTML, and some other steps. The Node tools like Grunt or Gulp are great at this. Java server that is a WAR deployed on Tomcat. It includes these assets as well as all the Java code. It has all kinds of tests: Unit tests, integration tests that may instantiate a DAO and talk to DB, and end-to-end API tests that actually talk to the app running on Tomcat. End-to-end tests with Protractor. If you're not familiar, it's another

What does it mean to build a solution/project/program? I want to make sure I have my definitions correct (so I don't sound like a idiot when conversing). In IDE's, you can (correct me if I'm wrong) compile source-code/programming-code into computer-readable machine code. You can debug a program, which is basically stepping through the program and looking for errors. But what exactly does building a program do? In VS I'm aware that when you build a program it produces an executable file in a debug folder. Any hard-core tech definitions of what it means to build a program? This does not
