devenv command line build evironment variable / parameter

Question

I am currently using a script to build my project, the script is something like

devenv.exe mySolution.sln /Rebuild "Release|Win32" /Project "my project"

This is working out great, and I am hoping to expand on it. What I want to do is pass an environment variable or some kind of switch to specify the language. In other words, I would like pass a project setting as a parameter of my command.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately things are not so flexible.

• msbuild
• or NAnt.exe (of CruiseControl fame)
• there is the classic nmake
• cmake aims to generate platform specific solutions/makesfiles from platform independent ones
• A number of plugins exist(ed?) to create make files from Visual Studio projects.

All of the above are better suited to that job
