MSVC toolset selection?

[hlnkn]

Hi,

cforge sounds really interesting and I'm going to port a project of mine to it. Is it possible to specify MSVC toolsets? If for example I'm using v141_xp, is there a way to tell cforge to use that?

Thank you

Yes, you can specify MSVC toolsets in cforge. The build system supports toolset specification through the CMake options when configuring Visual Studio builds.

Based on your codebase, there are two main ways to specify MSVC toolsets such as v141_xp:

1. Using build.cmake_options in your cforge.toml

You can add the toolset specification to the global CMake options:

[build]
cmake_options = ["-T", "v141_xp"]

2. Per-configuration toolset specification

If you want to use different toolsets for different build configurations, you can specify them in the configs section:

[build.configs.Debug]
cmake_options = ["-T", "v141_xp"]

[build.configs.Release]
cmake_options = ["-T", "v141_xp"]

Thank you, I've made it work :) this is being really useful to me so far.
