Hi All,
If you don't have Visual Studio 2008 installed you can stop reading.
As many of you have no doubt noticed, gyp emits something approximating
vs2008 sln/vcproj files for the portion of the build it has swallowed.
Currently it decides to emit vs2008 format if vs2008 is installed. The
auto-detect has been a problem for several people, since the extent to which
things build under vs2008 is unstable.
I will be dropping a change in once the tree opens again to switch the
default to vs2005.
If you do want to play with the vs2008 option you can force it by setting
GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2008 in your environment.
Eventually we will add a vs2008 builder. But there seems like little point
at the moment, since not everything has been gypified (so the import step
still happens).
If you feel strongly about what the eventual behavior should be, let me
know.
(Oh and for the folks that added in boost, I'll be adding in an MSVS_VERSION
variable you'll be able to use at gyp time so you can have different
behaviors).
