Multi-project build with different build platforms

I have a Visual Studio solution that contains three projects.

• MonoTest.Shared
• MonoTest.DirectX
• MonoTest.OpenGL

The Shared project is, obviously, a shared project that is referenced by the DirectX and OpenGL projects. I have managed to successfuly build the DirectX project but the OpenGl project fails with the following error: The OutputPath property is not set for project 'MonoTest.OpenGL.csproj'. Please check to make sure that you have specified a valid combination of Configuration and Platform for this project. Configuration='Release' Platform='x86'.

The DirectX project can only build on x86 platform, while the OpenGL project builds with Any CPU.

Is it possible to setup the matrix so each project can build for platforms? So DirectX: Release x86 + Debug x86 and OpenGL: Release: Any CPU + Debug Any CPU.

This is my current appveyor.yml file.

version: 1.0.{build}

configuration:
  - Release
  - Debug

platform: x86

install:
- ps: >-
    $source = "https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame/releases/download/v3.7.1/MonoGameSetup.exe"

    $output = "MonoGameSetup.exe"

    Start-FileDownload $source

    Start-Process -Wait -FilePath $output /S

environment:
  matrix:
    - project_name: MonoTest.Another
    - project_name: MonoTest.DirectX
    - project_name: MonoTest.OpenGL

build:
  project: $(project_name)/$(project_name).csproj
  verbosity: minimal

test: off

matrix:
  fast_finish: true

   Update. This config seemed to work. One minor annoyance is the list of build jobs, it shows

   • DirectX
   • DirectX
   • OpenGL
   • OpenGL

   It would be nice to see which configuration it's using.

   version: 1.0.{build}
   
   install:
   - ps: >-
       $source = "https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame/releases/download/v3.7.1/MonoGameSetup.exe"
   
       $output = "MonoGameSetup.exe"
   
       Start-FileDownload $source
   
       Start-Process -Wait -FilePath $output /S
   
   configuration:
   - Release
   - Debug
   
   environment:
     matrix:
   
     # DirectX Job
     - job_name: DirectX
       project_name: MonoTest.DirectX
       platform: x86
   
     # OpenGL Job
     - job_name: OpenGL
       project_name: MonoTest.OpenGL
       platform: AnyCPU
   
   matrix:
     fast_finish: true
   
   build:
     project: $(project_name)/$(project_name).csproj
     parallel: true
     verbosity: minimal
   
   test: off

   You can enumerate all configurations explicitly instead:

   version: 1.0.{build}
   
   install:
   - ps: >-
       $source = "https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame/releases/download/v3.7.1/MonoGameSetup.exe"
   
       $output = "MonoGameSetup.exe"
   
       Start-FileDownload $source
   
       Start-Process -Wait -FilePath $output /S
   
   environment:
     matrix:
   
     - job_name: DirectX, Debug
       project_name: MonoTest.DirectX
       platform: x86
       configuration: Debug
   
     - job_name: OpenGL, Debug
       project_name: MonoTest.OpenGL
       platform: AnyCPU
       configuration: Debug
       
     - job_name: DirectX, Release
       project_name: MonoTest.DirectX
       platform: x86
       configuration: Release
   
     - job_name: OpenGL, Release
       project_name: MonoTest.OpenGL
       platform: AnyCPU
       configuration: Release
   
   matrix:
     fast_finish: true
   
   build:
     project: $(project_name)/$(project_name).csproj
     parallel: true
     verbosity: minimal
   
   test: off
