Comment #1 on issue 885 by [email protected]: Unify Visual Studio projects, leveraging ability of having multiple target architectures inside a project.
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=885
As this issue clearly describes keeping the Visual Studio project files in sync is major pain. Unfortunately there is not only the issue of the different architectures, but also the different versions of Visual Studio. The current files are for Visual Studio 2005 and can be read into Visual Studio 2008 (but with warnings), but after converting they cannot be read into Visual Studio 2005 any more. How Visual Studio 2010 plays along here is still to be discovered.
I suggest that we drop explicitly including Visual Studio project in the V8 project and instead invest in making it possible to generate build files from the gyp files already used for the V8 project when being built as part of Chromium.
