This example demonstrates how to build a simple Hello World VCX project using MSBuild frontend.

Instructions

  1. Open a CMD console.
  2. Set the environment variable BUILDXL_BIN to the BuildXL binary folder containing bxl.exe. For example, if your BuildXL repo is in D:\BuildXL, then building BuildXL itself using bxl.cmd -Minimal will put the bxl.exe in D:\BuildXL\Out\Bin\debug\win-x64.
  3. Run build.cmd.

The build outputs will be located in the Debug folder. For further configuration options, see MsBuildResolver interface definition.
