Hi,
Microsoft has added support for remote-compiling and -debugging on
Linux from within Visual Studio through an official VS extension:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/03/30/visual-c-for-linux-development/
My question: is it already possible to generate a Visual Studio
solution for this scenario? If not, is support for this planned,
similar to the Android cross-compile scenario?
It would be nice if I could generate such a solution with (for instance):
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=VSLinux
I've been looking at the generated solution files, and the only
'interesting' part in the vxproj file seems to be this section:
---
<PropertyGroup Label="Globals">
<ProjectGuid>{2e73db3c-a17c-4694-996c-2cca151ed9f2}</ProjectGuid>
<Keyword>Linux</Keyword>
<RootNamespace>ConsoleApplication1</RootNamespace>
<MinimumVisualStudioVersion>14.0</MinimumVisualStudioVersion>
<ApplicationType>Linux</ApplicationType>
<ApplicationTypeRevision>1.0</ApplicationTypeRevision>
<TargetLinuxPlatform>Generic</TargetLinuxPlatform>
<LinuxProjectType>{D51BCBC9-82E9-4017-911E-C93873C4EA2B}</LinuxProjectType>
</PropertyGroup>
---
There seems to be a hardwired mapping between Visual Studio compiler
options and gcc/clang options, for instance setting optimization to
-O3 in the VS property dialog adds these lines to the vxproj file:
---
<ItemDefinitionGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|x64'">
<ClCompile>
<Optimization>Full</Optimization>
</ClCompile>
</ItemDefinitionGroup>
---
Cheers & thanks,
-Floh.
