I do this with a batch file. Each project configures an install.bat.in file which generates a install.bat in a Build sudirectory of the projects Build tree. Here is an example for a project called LungAnalysis Here is the install.bat.in [x:\]type X:\CMakeBased\Qt\LungAnalysis\install.bat.in devenv @project_binary_...@\@project_n...@.sln /build @RELEASE_BUILD_NAME@ /project PACKAGE Now the install.bat [x:\]type X:\32Bit\VC.80\Qt\LungAnalysis\Batch\install.bat devenv X:/32Bit/VC.80/Qt/LungAnalysis\LungAnalysis.sln /build RelWithDebInfo /project PACKAGE So then in a the root folder for the build trees for 32 bit vc2005 projects folder I have: [x:\32bit\vc.80]type install_la.bat call Lung\CT_Imaging\Batch\install.bat call Lung\BZ_Airway\Batch\install.bat call Lung\SCP_LS\Batch\install.bat call Lung\JPU_Lobe\Batch\install.bat call Qt\QtbasicUtils\Batch\install.bat call Qt\LungAnalysis\Batch\install.bat This builds all dependencies for the project by calling each projects install.bat script. I know this probably could be done in a more cross platform way but this was pretty easy to implement on the platform I develop the most. When I build on linux (not that often) I build each project manually.
