Multi-configuration project using declarative script?

[David Aldrich]

Hi

I want to build a C++ project using make on numerous machines, each having a different version of g++.  Currently I do this using a multi-configuration project.  The configuration is growing more complicated in that some machines need some commands to run before calling make, so I have conditional build steps that are becoming messy and difficult to maintain.

How could a achieve a similar effect using a declarative script?

It may be as simple as running parallel stages, each on a separate agent. Is that feasible?

Any code snippets to help me would be appreciated.

Best regards
