visual studio - Build C++ Universal App from command line without MSBuild -


in same spirit question can download visual c++ command line compiler without visual studio? see if easy bundle appropriate part of visual studio build universal app written in c++. following answer @alek aforementioned question, managed create an archive can unzip , use. traditional desktop (i say, command-line) programs. tried similar thing universal app , there couple of issues

  • the official way (i.e. visual studio under hood) use msbuild. unfortunately, not know , how of dependencies. seems require significant configuration effort well.
  • there no documentation on how build resources (e.g. generate c++ source , headers xaml), how generate .appx. if possible, makefile template appreciated.

the reason ask because visual studio failed me many times. instance, november update messed entire system; sdk installer fail @ 96% , rolled back. previously, upgrade vs2015 (from 2013) messed me entirely. seems solution these problems complete uninstall. having portable archive can unzip , restore production environment health extremely desirable.

note: not care ide. need ability build apps source code on command prompt.
