Agent Settings Dialog - Visual Studio Builds->Advanced Page

The Visual Studio Builds->Advanced page contained advanced settings that affect Visual Studio builds initiated by this Agent:

Environment

Use Environment variables instead of IDE paths

When this option is selected, IncrediBuild will use the local environment variables INCLUDE, LIB and PATH instead of the variables set in the IDE.

PDB File Allocation

Limit Concurrent PDB file instances to X

When this option is active, IncrediBuild will limit the number of files from belonging to the same project that can be built concurrently. This will result in a smaller number of PDB files and a speedup in link times. Because using this option also limits the potential for parallelization in builds, it is recommended to experiment with different values before using this option. Generally speaking, this feature is more suitable for solutions containing a large number of projects, since having more projects leaves room for better parallelization.

Link Options (Visual Studio 6.0)

Don't separate types when linking

This option instructs IncrediBuild to always use the /pdbtype:con linker option, even when /pdbtype:sept is explicitly stated in the project. Selecting this option will store the entire project's debug information in a single PDB file, rather than in several files. Note that since IncrediBuild creates distinct PDB files for each Agent participating in a build, any script that accesses the project's debug information files must take this into account when this option is not selected.
Note that this feature will only affect MSVC 6.0 builds. For more information on the /pdbtype linker option see MSDN library topic "/PDBTYPE".

Compiler Task Process Priority

Process priority for locally executed compilation tasks:

This controls the CPU priority compilation tasks in this machine will receive when participating in builds initiated by this machine's Agent.
