Make it build with latest VS Studio #646

Please make it compilable under VS2017

krzyc commented 6 years ago

I have just compiled 2.1.0 branch under VS2017 CE with no problems. Can you provide more details about your problems?

@krzyc : Thanks for the feedback. Can you please tell which version of boost, CEF, SMFL, TBB, FFMPEG were used during your compilation on VS2017 ? I am planning to install these dependencies using vcpkg, hence the latest version of these libraries will be installed. Will this affect the compilation ?

I have compiled "as is" - with included libraries. Get source from GitHub, unpack large files in dependencies64, generate VS project, disable "treat warnings as errors" - and then compile.

Upgrading libraries may be hard, because of possible incompatibilities between versions. I saw that there are some efforts to upgrade CEF and FFMPEG at least - check out other issues and commits.

Thanks I will give a go and report back any anomaly.

It compiles and builds like charm on VS 2017. Also VS 2017 can build the VS solution from casparcg cmakelists.txt without the need for installing CMake separately.
