Project Build Groups

[David P 3]

Is anyone using Build Groups?

 

How do I add different Configuration/Platforms to a Build Group?

 

I have a project group containing 10 projects, some (design-time packages) I want to only compile as Win32, and the run-time packages I want to build as both Win32 + 64. The projects have the relevant Target Platforms listed in Project Manager.

 

When I open the Build Groups pane and create a new Build Group, it adds all the projects to the Build Group. All of them are Release + Win32, but I cannot figure out how to add the Win64 platform too.

I'm sure I've managed this in the past with 10.x but I cannot figure it out in 11.1.

 

Any pointers?

I do! I actually blogged about it: Do you know Build Groups? There you can find instructions to solve your problem.

Thanks, but there is no way for me to edit the Configurations / Platforms columns.  Tried, clicking, double-clicking, right-clicking, no ellipsis. 

 

It could do with an 'Edit..' option on the context menu.

 

This is with 11.1.  Tried it on 10.4.3 and works as expected, looks like they broke it.
