So, was there some consensus which is the oldest version we are going to support with master?I brought up the issue of moving to VS2013 for master, and separately dropping info from the (master) docs for earlier than VS2010. I didn't see any requests for support to build with earlier than 2010, although Guy did wonder about the doc changes, but no real conclusionwasreached. Personally I would make 2013 the minimum supported for master.Hmm, OK. So we need an updated developer's guide setup section. I willtryto update my Windows vom 2010 to 2013 and see how it goes - just have to find out how to snapshot the VM first ;-> Could you update Makefile.nmake and config.nmake to rip out all the stuff that deals with older versions? That would make my life with the CMake work on Windows somewhat easier ;-) Thanks JörgCould not we keep at least VS2010 but change the default to VS2013 (if everybody agree)? I find it a quite drastic change to drop all older compilers suddenly... This is not something we have done in the past.
That was what I was meaning, we would leave support for VS2010, and fix up whatever is needed for 2012 & 2013. 2013 builds well for me. The toolchain in 2013 is a big improvement over 2010. I think we can make nmake autodetect the version and possibly CMake too, although that likes to make it's own mind up so needs a command line switch if you have multiple versions. -- Graham Bloice
