TypeScript + AMD + out parameter don't work

Question

I have downloaded a project that uses AMD. Everything works fine, but I wanted to test out how to concatenate all the compiled files into one output all.js file. I found something about --out parameter and followed the steps from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14302902/1252575

It didn't work for me, I'm getting an error:

The command "tsc --module AMD --out all.js "C:\TypeScriptWithRequireAMD_0.8.1\app\classes\Test.ts" "C:\TypeScriptWithRequireAMD_0.8.1\modules\require.d.ts" "C:\TypeScriptWithRequireAMD_0.8.1\app\classes\Greeter.ts" "C:\TypeScriptWithRequireAMD_0.8.1\app\AppConfig.ts" "C:\TypeScriptWithRequireAMD_0.8.1\app\AppMain.ts"" exited with code 1.

Here's how my file structure looks like:

Btw. I have a second question. Does --out parameter copy contents from lib catalog? If not, how to include them, too?

Oh, I forgot... It's a part of my .csproj file:

<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'">
    <TypeScriptSourceMap>--module AMD</TypeScriptSourceMap>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
    <Message Text="Compiling TypeScript files" />
    <Message Text="Executing tsc$(TypeScriptSourceMap) @(TypeScriptCompile ->'&quot;%(fullpath)&quot;', ' ')" />
    <Exec Command="tsc $(TypeScriptSourceMap) --out all.js @(TypeScriptCompile ->'&quot;%(fullpath)&quot;', ' ')" />
</Target>

Here's my AppConfig.js:

require.config({
    baseUrl: '../',
    paths: {
        'jquery': 'lib/jquery-1.7.2',
        'underscore': 'lib/underscore',
        'backbone': 'lib/backbone',
        'console': 'lib/console',
        'greeter': 'app/classes/Greeter',
        'test': 'app/classes/Test'
    },
    shim: {
        jquery: {
            exports: '$'
        },
        underscore: {
            exports: '_'
        },
        backbone: {
            deps: [
                "underscore", 
                "jquery"
            ],
            exports: "Backbone"
        },
        console: {
            exports: "console"
        },
        greeter: {
            deps: [
                "test"
            ]
        },
        test: {
            deps: [
                "greeter"
            ]
        }
    }
});
require([
    'jquery', 
    'underscore', 
    'backbone', 
    'console', 
    'app/AppMain', 
    'app/classes/Greeter', 
    'app/classes/Test'
], function ($, _, Backbone, console, main, greeter, test) {
    var appMain = new main.AppMain();
    appMain.run();
});

By definition AMD scripts are loaded asynchronously by an AMD loader. In order to place them all in one file you'll need to run some analysis on the dependencies of each file so that they are inserted in the correct order. This is not something that --out does. You'll need to investigate something like the RequireJS optimizer instead.
