VS2012-branch

[fkorak]

Hia,

I've been battling with getting the vs-tools to run on Visual Studio 2012. Here is how far I got:

• The Path for the MSBuild-platform has changed from "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Platforms". I've adapted the path for "VCMessage" in "Microsoft.Cpp.Clang.targets" and "Microsoft.Cpp.Emscripten.targets" to say "Microsoft.Build.CppTasks.Common.v110".
• I've gotten the "vs-android.Build.CPPTasks.Android"-source from the vs-android-project and have added the new paths to the dependencies to rebuilt the .dll. I've then added the path of my new .dll to GCCCompile, GCCLink and so on.

Sadly I must be missing one of the changes, since I'm still getting "warning MSB8003: Could not find VCInstallDir variable from the registry. TargetFrameworkVersion or PlatformToolset may be set to an invalid version number. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets" as an error.

Maybe significant, the source of my general tries: https://code.google.com/p/vs-android/issues/detail?id=61

Greetings,

I have this issues too. Currently no idea how to fix this.

The emscripten and mingw part of vs-tool works for me in vs2012 as in vs2010. I followed the install instruction for vs2010 and it just works correctly for vs2012 as well.

I haven't tried the others.

I have the same problem. I only have Visual Studio 2012 (Premium) installed and I don't have either VCInstallDir registry key, nor environment variable. I have the latest nvidia android ndk installed and am using the vs-tool.
I get the this warning: "MSB8003: Could not find VCInstallDir variable from the registry. TargetFrameworkVersion or PlatformToolset may be set to an invalid version number" in
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets, which mentions VCInstallDir a couple of times in some error reporting section, so perhaps it assumes there was a previous VS version installed?

I forked the project and added support for VS2012. I took the changes needed from vs-android along with a fix for 64bit Python in the linking phase. Can anyone verify if VS2010 and 2013 are functional?

[trippleflux]

@caseymcc any plan for visual studio 2013 supports?

[caseymcc]

@trippleflux my changes also include fixes for VS2013. Once Microsoft put out the VS2013 Community version I started using that instead of VS2012 and is seems to work fine. I just committed a change to include an Embind option in the project settings as well.

@caseymcc I've tried your changes with VS2013 Ultimate with no luck,even the property sheet in the 'Configuration Properties' not showing up. Any clue why its not working?or how can I debug this?

Was out of town and didn't have a chance to look at it till now. Likely
something todo with the installation as the documented install seems to be
missing a few steps.

You need to take the folders (Clang, Emscripten, MinGW, NaCL) from the
repository and copy them to the MSBuild folder (usually: C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Platforms for VS2013) once there you
need to copy the dll out of the "Emscripten\2013 DLL" into the MSBuild
"Platforms\Emscripten" folder.

Hopefully that will work for you. I will change the documentation in a few
assuming this works for you.

Thanks,
Casey

caseymcc,
thanks for reply
i got
"
error MSB8006: The Platform for project '.vcxproj' is invalid. Platform='Emscripten'.

hmm, little hard to debug VS issues.

Things to check,

To enable an existing solution to be built via vs-tool, create a a platform
for it from Configuration Manager -> Active Solution Platform -> New... ->
platform.

Verify you set the Clan and Emscripten environments variables or set path
directories after installing them (I have not used the VS directories only
the environment variables).

1. Set MINGW_BIN environment variable to point to the bin\ directory
   where the MinGW toolchain executables (gcc.exe et al.) reside in.
2. Set CLANG_BIN environment variable to point to the directory where
   the Clang toolchain executables (clang.exe and the rest) reside in.
3. Set EMSCRIPTEN environment variable to point to the emscripten root
   directory (location of emcc.bat et al)

or

1. Alternatively, in Visual Studio, go to Project Properties ->
   Toolchain Directories

Hi Caseymcc and thank you for your work on this plugin.

I need to install it on vs2013, I followed the tutorial for vs2012 but i'm facing this problem:

error MSB4096: The item "core\src\fdrm\crypto\fx_crypt.cpp" in item list "ClCompile" does not define a value for metadata "ProgramDataBaseFileName".  In order to use this metadata, either qualify it by specifying %(ClCompile.ProgramDataBaseFileName), or ensure that all items in this list define a value for this metadata.  C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets

I found this post : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17681548/clcompile-and-emscripten

But I don't know where I must set the Program Database File Name..

Do you have any idea ?

Since we are on Visual Studio 2019 now, and this project hasn't seen commits in years, I think this can be closed.
