I have also modified my wix.targets file to make the build work, but I was
really hoping that I wouldn't have to do that.
I am using a directory name for the "CompileObjOutput" item. That makes the
"Compile" target work fine. Then to make the "Lib" target work, I removed
the "CompileObjOutput" from its input to make it look like:
Name="Lib"
Inputs="@(WixObject);
$(MSBuildAllProjects)"
and a few lines below, changed to:
<Lit
ObjectFiles="@(WixObject);@(WixLibrary)"
If this is what has to be done, so be it.
Thanks, Rene!

The fix I have in my wix.targets is this for the Compile target:

DependsOnTargets="$(CompileDependsOn)">

*Subject:* [WiX-users] multiple source files to candle
The help information for candle indicates that I can specify more than one
sourceFile argument and only specify one outputFile argument.
usage: candle.exe [-?] [-nologo] [-out outputFile] sourceFile [sourceFile
...]
However when I attempt something like:
C:\>candle -out ab.wixobj a.wxs b.wxs
I get the following error:
candle.exe : error CNDL0001 : cannot specify more than one source file
with single output file. Either specify an output directory for the -out
argument by ending the argument with a '\' or remove the -out argument to
have the source files compiled to the current directory.
Parameter name: -out
This certainly has valid workarounds that I have employed in my build
scripts, but our daily integration build process uses msbuild and I would
really like to use wix.targets in our builds. But it also has this candle
"problem". If I create more than one "Compile" item and specify a single
"CompileObjOutput" item, my msbuild script aborts with the same error
message as above.
There isn't any documentation for wix.targets v2.0.4820.0 (which is what I
am using), but there's some in the 3.0.2420.0 version that indicate that
what I am attempting is indeed correct.
Am I missing something painfully obvious or is this simply broken? I am
more likely to believe that I am missing something yet I cannot find what it
might be by reading documentation, googling or searching this mailing list.
Does anyone here know what I am doing wrong or not understanding?
