MSBuild故障排除

我们当前的代码库由大量VisualStudio2008解决方案组成,我注意到其中一些解决方案似乎会导致MSBuild失败,但我不知道为什么。实际的解决方案本身和它们所持有的项目构建正确,但总体构建仍然失败。

当然,BuildLog.txt文件非常庞大,其中包含大量难以理解的文本。但我能说的最好的是,当这些SLN文件中的一个给它带来问题时,MSBuild完全崩溃并死亡。

我知道在Stack Overflow中粘贴极其详细的错误消息是不明智的,但上面提到的核心内容是

我看到它引用了TeamFoundation.Build.targets。我查了那个文件,那个文件,但它并没有真正跳出来告诉我问题可能是什么。(注释后面的一行是上面引用的(1008,5))

<!-- Build using MSBuild task -->
<MSBuild BuildInParallel="$(BuildSolutionsInParallel)"
         Projects="$(Solution)"
         Properties="Configuration=$(Configuration);Platform=$(Platform);$(OutDirOption);$(PublishDirOption);SkipInvalidConfigurations=$(SkipInvalidConfigurations);$(FxCopDirOption);$(ReferencePathOption);$(CodeAnalysisOption);

         Targets="$(Targets)"
         StopOnFirstFailure="$(StopOnFirstFailure)">
  <Output TaskParameter="TargetOutputs" ItemName="CompilationOutputs" />
</MSBuild>

起初,我认为这是在告诉我,节点中需要替换的项目之一丢失了,但其他没有问题的解决方案具有类似/相同的设置。

以前有人碰到过这个吗?
