PLATFORM and PLATFORMNAME macros in VS2008 and VS2010

I have got an old project, C++, 64 bits compiled on VS2008. The project is built using some Python scripts (SCONS). I have got to compile it in VS2010. All is working pretty fine except one small detail: in VS2008 all output goes to Debug\Win64 or Release\Win64, where scripts are looking for it, while in VS2010 it goes to Debug\x64 or Release\x64.

I know that there are PLATFORM/PLATFORMNAME macros being used by VS. Anything I did trying to change these va开发者_如何转开发lues is mighty ignored by VS, or, if I am changing it manually in vcxproj files, VS refuses to compile at all.

For some company-related reasons scripts could not be changed. So for now I just added to a batch file that runs the script some xcopy commands to copy all the files from\x64 to \win64 before the script starts. It's kind of working, but I would like to know about a more elegant solution.

Thanks, fLot

Another solution that might work is to create a file system junction so that \Win64 and \x64 becomes two different names to the same physical folder. You have to create a junction for each configuration instead of copying the files but once created it should stick between builds and ensure the two folders have the same content.
