My solution to this problem is to provide a setenv.bat file in each project
which configures the environment for the developer/build machine. The batch
file runs vsvars32.bat and sets the INCLUDE, LIB, and PATH environment
variables. It also creates a doskey macro 'vs' which invokes devenv.com
with the /useenv switch.
I also check all the dependencies into source control except for VS.NET.
This includes Platform SDK (we're A C++ shop), DirectX SDK, 3rd party
libraries, in-house libraries and NAnt. The setenv.bat file sets up the
entire environment relative to the working directory. The build machine
only needs to have vs.net (we use devenv.com in our build files instead of
<solution>), and the source control client (SVN).
This approach isolates the development environment for each project.
Developers check out the project and run the setenv.bat. To develop, they
run 'vs <path-to-solution-file>'. For those who will be working primarily
with one project and want the convenience of double clicking a .sln or
.vcproj file from explorer, I provide another script which sets the global
VS.NET development environment (i.e. Tools->Options->Projects->VC++
Directories) from the environment variables.
On the build machine, a bootstrapper script checks out the source, runs
setenv.bat, and then starts the Nant build.
Below is a sample setenv.bat
Cheers,
Bill
