Under Windows, Scons is now capable of detecting and compiling with
standalone MSVC compilers (aka "Visual C++ Build Tools").
http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
Tried with version 2015, and native x86 and x64 compilers under
Windows 10 pro 64 and Windows 8.1 64, with the default Win8 SDK
provided by the "Visual C++ Build Tools" web-installer.
Follow the same compiling instructions than for compiling with Visual
Studio, except that Visual Studio is no more required.
KNOWN ISSUES :
- ``methods.detect_visual_c_compiler_version()`` will emit a warning message
on computers where the ``VSINSTALLDIR`` environement variable is not present.
But it should compile just fine and still automatically detects the 32 or
64 bits according to the compiler you picked.
TODO :
- eventually, update ``platform/winrt/dectet.py`` with function
``methods.msvc_is_detected()`` and try to compile winrt/UWP with
these standalone compilers (if you did not select Win10 SDK when
installing the standalone tools, you can run it again).
- update doc to make users aware of "Visual C++ Build Tools" aka
"stadalone MSVC".
- eventually, update ``methods.detect_visual_c_compiler_version()``
NMake was not setup by the vsproj=yes compilation
parameter. After attempting other possible options,
this is the best fix for our current requirements.
Compiling via NMake is implementing an alternative
to SCons, so this fix escapes out of NMake
environment while also supporting different target
builds and IDE error list integration.
Also sets -j setting to 2 so that it's easy for
people to change it to a propper value and speed it
up a bit for those that do not.
Adds two missing .gitignore Visual Studio temp files
present in Visual Studio's .gitignore.
Useful for everybody wanting to package godot.
Fixes#1026.
-> Retain the old behaviour: path in error msg only when exporting.
-> User templates override system templates
makes it possible to add a custom extra suffix to the base filename of
all generated binary files.
example :
scons p=windows extra_suffix=yourBranchName
or
scons p=windows bits=32 extra_suffix=v20150401_1642
or
scons p=windows extra_suffix=msvc2010_git20150401
