VS2010 : How to run devenv to not parallelize the build

I use devenv.exe to pass it a sln file and use /Rebuild switch, internally the devenv.exe spins up multiple msbuild's. I have a need to run unparalleled build, with only one thread of msbuild. Surely, I can use directly msbuild.exe with /M set to 1, but I have a specific requirement to use devenv.exe.

Is there any way by a command line switch or by using some environment variable which will allow me to do aforementioned.

Thanks in advance.

I tried the above solution and it did not work. Here's the correct solution I found from this duplicate topic:

How to do a parallel build in Visual Studio 2010

1. Tools -> Options
2. Projects and Solutions\VC++ Project Settings
3. Maximum concurrent C++ compilations
4. Set it to 1 (or the desired number)

So you want it to compile slower?

In your project file under C/C++ General you'll see a Multi-processor Compilation. Set that to No. Else remove the /MP switch from the commandline to cl.exe depending how you are compiling.
