No required options for generate.bat script
-------------------------------------------
Key: STDCXX-517
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-517
Project: C++ Standard Library
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 4.2
Environment: All Windows platforms
Reporter: Eric Lemings
Fix For: 4.1.2
The generate.bat script currently requires two options: /BUILDDIR and /CONFIG.
Unless there's a valid reason NOT to do so, the generate.bat script should
preset or determine the following values for these options when the user does
not specify their own value. /BUILDDIR should default to the source directory;
that is, the same directory containing the generate.bat script. For the
/CONFIG option, the script should probe the build environment for all
possible/supported Windows compilers currently installed and then sanity check
each one that is found. If it finds no sane compilers, the script should
probably issue a warning and just exit. If only one compiler is found,
configure all distribution files to build with that compiler. If more than one
compiler is found, set the target compiler to the first one found in predefined
order of preference. (This order could be for instance, MSVC 8, 7, ..., Intel
C++ 10, 9, 8, etc, Cygwin GCC, Mingw, Borland, etc.)
