Is it possible to start Dolphin from Visual Studio?

[esh]

Hello everybody,

I update Dolphin SVN sources a lot of times every day, and everytime, I have to build the entire project, could someone tell me how to start the dolphin exe from Visual Studio directly, without to build a new rev everytime?

With PCSX2 project I can do it.

Hope you understood it, sorry for my not-perfect English.

it can't be done O_O (and it can't be done with Pcsx2 either O_O (must be the folder you can have it build to then ))

[esh]

No, with PCSX2 you can do it, go to "CompileGuideForWindows" in the Wiki section of the PCSX Google code page, and read where it says "Running Pcsx2 from the Visual Studio Debugger".
It compiles all the files only the first time, then it updates only the files you update by TortoiseSVN.

Can you add this feature to the Dolphin project too, please?
It would be great

hmm well, that can be done on Dolphin then , just right click on "Dolphin" instead (and do the same steps it has (without the "arguments" portion ))

i tried but it won't work, any ideas?

Actually, I got it working by setting the properties of "Core". Also, instead of using $(TargetDir), I just put the hard-coded path in and it worked perfectly.

I'm sorry, what do you mean with "hard-coded path"?

The exact path, without using any variables, since I'm too lazy to figure them out.

For me, it's "D:\Dolphin-SVN\dolphin-emu-read-only\Binary\x64". It'll be different for everybody else.

i dont know if that works what you want, but :

Quote:I have to build the entire project

is not true.

just use "build dolphin"(first) instead of "bulld dolphin new" (second)

dont know if it is called exaclty that as im not using english version...

but this way you only need to compile what is new and with minor changes its MUUUUCH faster.

@Toad King:
oh you meant the absolute path, now i changed it, and what you typed in Command?

@Iulius
i know you mean Compile solution (faster) and Recompile solution(slowest).
But the build instruction in the dolphin google code page says to use Recompile solution and not Compile solution...

Any suggestsion?
