MSBuild Override Project Reference to resolve to Precompiled Assembly
- by Ryu
Situation
I have about 400 csproj files using project references. About 3 of those a separate team wants to fork and incorporate into a standalone app.
I branched the 3 projects of interest, and because the separate team uses a diff SVN repo I used svn externals to pull in these projects into the folder of the standalone app. Obviously since this team uses a different folder structure the project references no longer resolve.
Attempted Solution
I figured setting the msbuild properties ReferencePath and AdditionalLibPaths to point to a directory with all the precompiled dependencies would allow the project references a fallback point and resolve correctly. However that doesn't appear to be the case.
Question
Does anybody know a way to have a
failed projectreference look up
resolve to the precompiled dll?
Perhaps point me to an automated tool
to convert projectreferences to dll
references?
Or is there a better way to solve this problem?
Thanks
