Re: [ros-dev] Notice Of Intent - Visual Studio Build of ReactOS

VS2008?

Shouldn't you be doing this in 2012, especially considering the much
improved support for kernel mode projects.

At the very least you should be using 2010 as 2012 can open 2010 project
without modification to project files.

Yes, it is one thing to create a project file, which takes 15-30 seconds. It
is another thing to get the configuration right.  Fortunately, there are
copious notes and highly-readable scripts in the tree which practically say
what needs to be done, so I do not anticipate any major hurdles. 

 

I spent a little time in the source tree today. I integrated a few modules
into Visual  Studio 2008, an tested calc, by buiding it from within Visual
Studio for x86-32 and x86-64. It ran fine, thanks to the author(Mr. Carlo
Bramini) who left good notes in his source code. Just for kicks, I also
created an ARM-based project that would run on the Raspberry Pi, compiled it
from within  VS2008, and ran it inside the emulator that comes with VS2008.
That ran fine also. Tomorrow I will ask a colleague to try the following:

1.       Pull the repository to his local hard disk from inside Visual
Studio.

2.       Hit Build.

3.       Run calc in an edit- compile-debug loop.

It would take 2-3 hours to create VS projects for all user-mode modules.

No offence, but I think you are highly underestimating the magnitude of our
codebase. We are talking about several hundred modules. And you probably
also overestimate the pace at which you can create project files. I did that
myself for a much smaller project, so I know what I'm talking about. 
But maybe I'm wrong and they call you "The Machine" :D
