set debug command and working directory in vs solution #2628

Open ab9rf opened 1 year ago

ab9rf commented 1 year ago

it would be helpful to have the solution created by cmake set the project debug command to $DF_PATH\Dwarf Fortress.exe and debug working directory to $DF_PATH, since this facilitates debugging DF/DFHack directly from visual studio. as it is, i have to manually update this whenever i regenerate a clean build tree, which is slightly annoying

ab9rf commented 1 year ago

i dug around this for a while, it seems i can set these properties on any of the specifically defined targets (like, say, dfhack) but setting in on ALL_BUILD (which is the target vs uses for launching the debugger) is not possible in cmake without modifying cmake itself. bleah

will keep digging

it looks like changing the startup project to be dfhack instead of ALL_BUILD (the default) will accomplish the desired result, but there may be other consequences to doing this
