I want to compile a resource before building, hence using the build event before building.
I want to open the "Developer command prompt" and run rc.exe myFile.rc
In my build event, pre-build, I can simply add
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.17134.0\x86\rc.exe" $(ProjectDir)TestFile1.rc
The issue is that there are a number of folders in that bin, 10.0.otherNumbers... so this line works on my computer, but not necessary on other computer or in the future.
Is there a macro, like $(DevEnvDir) for the right path here?
Something like:
"$(DeveloperCommandPrompt)\rc.exe" $(ProjectDir)TestFile1.rc
Or a way to enter developer Command prompt from the ordinary command prompt, as it would be needed in a bat file
