How do I set a property to the output of a command in msbuild/xbuild?

You can't do that using exec because the Exec task cannot gather output from the tool or command that it runs You'll have to write a custom msbuild task that calls pkg-config and gather this output in a property.

That's what I feared. Thanks – Nils Apr 21 '10 at 8:45.

I had some Ideas on how to achieve this. I created an xbuild/msbuild custom task to simply execute a given command and make the output usable. The results can be viewed here.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
