Hi all,
I implemented a small extension to the Visual Studio 10 target generator
that I would like to share.
The patch adds the target property VS_CONFIGURATION_TYPE. It allows to set
an arbitrary value to the "ConfigurationType" property in the generated
Visual Studio project file. By default, the generator fills in
"DynamicLibrary", "StaticLibrary", "Application" or "Utility", depending
on the target type.
This is useful if you want to build a Windows Kernel Mode Driver. The
Visual Studio property sheets that are part of the Windows Driver Kit
8/8.1/10 expect the value "Driver" in the "ConfigurationType" property. So
by setting VS_CONFIGURATION_TYPE to "Driver", the generator fills that in
instead of e.g. "DynamicLibrary".
Please let me know if this change is acceptable.
Best regards
Fabian
