Support for Visual C++ Compiler Nov 2013 CTP (CTP_Nov2013) #430

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

I'm hoping to get gyp working against an alternate set of msvs 2013 compiler 
tools. The reason is that Microsoft has released 
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41151 with better 
support for C++11 features.

It looks like there are at least two main problems to getting this working:

1. `_CreateVersion` in `MSVSVersion.py` needs a new entry for `2013CTP` or 
something like that
2. The path setup in `class VisualStudioVersion` will not work for for a CTP 
release like this because it does not have the same folder structure as a full 
Visual Studio release.

The folder structure looks like:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler Nov 2013 CTP\
    bin\
         amd64\
         amd64_x86
         x86_amd64\
         c1.dll
         c2.dll
         cl.exe
         ...
    crt\
    include\
    lib\

Has anyone tried getting this working yet? Should this be able to work with 
some minor changes to gyp?

With a little more digging I think I got this working. It is as simple as 
passing `"msbuild_toolset":"CTP_Nov2013"` in the `target_defaults` like
