This came up during today's checkin: Jeffrey mentioned that we should
see if Chandler can be built using a free (or definitely more recent)
version of Microsoft Visual Studio. Currently, we run MS Visual
Studio .Net 2003 on the build machines.
As Jeffrey mentioned, Heikki looked into this a while back, and it
turns out he documented what he did extensively (Thanks, Heikki!):
+ wiki summary: http://chandlerproject.org/Journal/VisualC2005ExpressEdition
+ bug with more detail: https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5671
(see also the 2 "Depends on" bugs, 1 of which is fixed)
+ short dev list thread: http://markmail.org/message/ughue52fb5ktnfbf
The upshot seems to be:
+ there were some DLL issues to solve (though it's possible those have
been mitigated by the PyLucene switch to openjdk)
+ some optimization ("performance guided optimization") is not
available in the free version.
Anyway, this makes me thing going down this path is a bit of a can of
worms for now ...
