Linux & Windows Generation

[d11ahirst]

Hi,

I am trying to generate both a windows and linux project using 0.16 however I am coming across this issue?

Contains distinct configurations with the same name, please add something to distinguish them:

- Debug|x64 => 'TestAppSolution:vs2017_Lib_linux_Debug'
- Debug|x64 => 'TestAppSolution:vs2017_Lib_win64_Debug'

Because they both share x64 as platform Its having a hard time generating.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks

Heya! Yes, you need to change the configuration name in your configure all and add something to distinguish them, as the message says :)

Something like:

[Configure]
public virtual void ConfigureAll(Configuration conf, Target target)
{
    // ...
    conf.Name = "[target.Optimization]_[target.Platform]";
}

Thanks for the quick response Works a treat.

Actually the problem is now it thinks the win64 build is a linux build so wants to use the connection manager.

You mean when debugging? Could you post a screenshot of the property grid and the error you're getting?

[d11ahirst]

When I have x64 windows selected it wants to use Linux connection Manager

Hum be careful about the Platform dropdown, select the Active configuration instead of linux:

Also I meant to ask for a screenshot of the project property pane, not the solution configuration

[d11ahirst]

Sorry about that

You can see I have active selected but its display the connection manager at the top

Interesting, looks like the application type is set to linux for the whole vcxproj and not only for the linux configuration.
Could you try separating the vcxproj to see if it works better?

conf.ProjectFileName = "[project.Name]_[target.Platform]";

[d11ahirst]

It looks like it does work a little better, I end up with multiple projs and have to switch startup apps as well as platform

[d11ahirst]

It does seem like there is a problem of linux and windows coexisting, perhaps its due to sharing x64?

[belkiss]

Either that or sharpmake needs to protect some sections in the vcxproj with tests of the platform, like the application type.
