How to get devenv.exe to display its output on the console

Question

I'm using devenv /Rebuild but there's no output written to the console. That's annoying since I want to keep track of progress.

If I use /out log.txt then it writes to the "log.txt" which, of course, I can inspect after the build.

Perhaps there's some symbol foo that stands for the console so I could write /out foo?

Answer 1

You can't.

But you can use devenv.com rather than devenv.exe (it's in the same directory). The former does write to the console, even if you use /out to write to a log file.

The command line arguments are identical.
