Combining projects

by Randy Hearn - Magnum · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 12/28/2008 (9:41 am) · 4 replies

I should probably know this answer but figured I would ask anyway. I want to compare the stronghold and the atlas demo and see what the differences are in the VS2008 solutions. In the past I have only used WinMerge to compare individual files.


Is there an easy way to compare two projects to find out what the differences are?

This should be easy, but I am just not that familiar with the compilers yet.

    WinMerge works.

    I have used Winmerge for individual files, but not a project where the links to files are contained in the solution, but the actual file/folders may be somewhere else. Could you expand on how to use it for this?

    You can compare entire directories with Winmerge. Select an appropriate "root" folder for both projects, don't select any files, and check "include sub-folders". There are also plugins that can compare binary and other data files also.

    Thanks, I found what I was looking for. By comparing the vcproj files in the ..\projects folder gave me the start to what was needed. Then I could drill down easier to each individual file. But seems I need to use winMerge more. I figured there would be an easy feature in VS2008.
