visual studio 2008 - How to back up or move a project -
someone set large complex visual studio project on pc. source sits on more 1 directory , uses boost libraries. wish make modifications source code experiment ideas. before want make back-up of project elsewhere on pc
- i have ,
- so can compare old , new.
my problem don't know files should put , don't know how modify backed project such compile in new location.
is there short guide somewhere me?
ok @mick, if refuse use source-code control;
- clean project, removing .o files , other built artefacts.
- copy entire directory tree; luck boost not in copy, if is, either copy or not, wish. if don't copy it, don't forget update project's definition of find it.
- declare 1 of (right identical) versions of project original. might want write-protect it.
- open visualstudio project in copy.
- build project.
- or rather, attempt build project , start dealing problems thrown up. if build uses exclusively relative file locations may find builds first time without errors. if make extensive use of absolute file locations, may want ensure refer locations in copy of project.
i don't think there other realistic option copy files, re-build, , deal issues arise.
