Hi,

Anyone had experience of integrating VB6 projects into RTC?

Looking to see if i can use msbuild and configurate the RTC VS build defenition to achieve this.

<Project DefaultTargets="Execute" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<Import Project="FreeToDev.MSBuildTasks.tasks"/>
<ItemGroup>
     <ProjectsToBuild Include="C:\MyVB6Project.vbp">
          <OutDir>c:\bob</OutDir>
     </ProjectsToBuild>
     <ProjectsToBuild Include="C:\MyVB6Project2.vbp"/>
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="Execute">
     <BuildVB6 Projects="@(ProjectsToBuild)"/>
</Target>
</Project>

I have also noticed that there is Visual Studio build definition. See this link:

Hello gk,
You can try configuring command line build definition for that. You will find more info on https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.team.build.doc%2Ftopics%2Ftcreatebuilddefinition.html

Hi,


Not sure what you mean.

Are you saying I can use command line definition to execute msbuild script?

Thanks

Hello gk,
Yes, this is how I would do that.

I think you should be able to use the ANT exec task to run any executable build and compile tool from the ANT script. Krzysztof's suggestion is also a good one, but once you need to do more automation/tasks than what is supported there you will end up having to use ANT anyway.
