AArch64 toolchain support? #139

Open thomas-t1 opened 9 years ago

thomas-t1 commented 9 years ago

I have been using vs-android successfully for quite some time, however I suddenly had a customer requirement to port our projects to AArch64. It appears there is no support in the latest vs-android build for these. Unfortunately I have very little time to port to AArch64, and I need to decide quickly if I have to drop vs-android and go for supported NDK tools/build system/IDE or modify vs-android to support AArch64. From the little I could gather from in the msbuild files, I suspect it is possible to add a toolchain by modifying the msbuild files?

  1. Can the AArch64 toolchain(s) be added through msbuild file alone?
  2. Do I need to modify the code as well?
  3. Is there some kind of documentation for adding a new toolchain? Any hints would be appreciated.

I added support for gcc 4.9 aarch64/arm64v8-a in the VS2012 part, is there any interest in this patch?

That's better than the image-zip trick

Yeah, old dog, new tricks... I'm more of a TFS guy myself, but times change ;)
