MS Build: Access compiler settings in a subsequent task

Question

I\'m writing my own MS build scripts which I import in the project file (*.vcxproj)

I would like to execute a task conditionally depending on the C runtime being use

Answer 1

The value you are looking for is metadata of the ClCompile item group. Use this:

Condition=" '%(ClCompile.RuntimeLibrary)' == 'MultiThreadedDll' "

I added this to the bottom of a vcxproj to see what the current setting was:

 <Target Name="BeforeClCompile">
    <Message Text="BeforeCompile: RuntimeLibrary=[%(ClCompile.RuntimeLibrary)]" Importance="high" />
 </Target>
