Currently NVDA can only be compiled with Microsoft Visual c++ 2012 update 3 or higher, or Microsoft Visual C++ 2013. We should support compiling with Microsoft Visual C++ 2015. This requires Scons 2.4.1 and multiple fixes to our source code as VC 2015 is much more pickier about casting truncation on 64 bit (specifically in regards to HWND and HANDLE).

The current deployment plan for this is:

  • In early January, install VS 2015 on our build server.
  • Once VS 2015 is installed, force the VS version to 2015 so NVDA will refuse to build at all with earlier versions. This should be merged into next.
  • NVDA 2016.1 (and thus master until rc) will still be VS 2012.
  • Merge to master at the start of the 2016.2 release cycle (after 2016.1rc1).
