The gtest's msvc directory has the gtest project file, and opening it with Visual Studio enables me to select the build out of 8 configurations(gtest/gtest_main/gtest_prod_test/gtest_unittest x release/debug) with Batch Build.
How can I do the same thing with msbuild tool? For example, how can I tell msbuild to build gtest/Debug or gtest_unittest/Release?

To build a specific target of a specific project in a solution. At the command line, type MSBuild.exe <SolutionName>. sln , where <SolutionName> corresponds to the file name of the solution that contains the target that you want to execute.
MSBuild lets you set properties on the command line by using the -property (or -p) switch. These global property values override property values that are set in the project file. This includes environment properties, but does not include reserved properties, which cannot be changed.
MSBuild projectfile /property:Configuration=Debug http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171452%28v=vs.80%29.aspx

Kyle Alons's answer works fine. When I run solution file that has four projects, it generates the release version of each project.
msbuild gtest-md.sln /property:Configuration=Release I could run each project as follows, but the output names are based on solution name, so I need to modify to get correct results.
msbuild gtest-md.vcxproj /property:Configuration=Release The solution was to specify target as follows.
msbuild gtest-md.sln /target:gtest-md /property:Configuration=Release If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
