--- Comment #2 from Manu <[email protected]> --- Custom build tool is really awkward when build dependencies and linkage are all required steps. I'm not saying it's an urgent feature, but I feel it would be pretty valuable, since I don't think it's uncommon by any means, and would probably allow a lot of people a lot less friction to get their project running. Most Visual Studio users have no idea how to execute a compiler via the command line (and consequently hook it all up via a custom build tool). I mean, that kinda the point of VS integration. I think it'd only need a couple of the most important options, and for GDC/LDC builds, a lot of the options are shared (optimisation, debuginfo, linker, etc). On a separate note, I was looking at the builtin MSBuild scripts for C/C++, and it occurred to me that it might be possible to hack D support into the official vcxproj stuff. Did you ever look into that? I expect that approach would have no way to hook special code for autocomplete and stuff though right? (I have no idea about the VS extensibility API) --
