Missing Windows Store Application project support (Windows 8.1/Windows Phone 8.1) #449

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
VS2013 supports multiple c++ projects types:
1. Classic Desktop .dll/applications (Currently supported by GYP)
2. Windows Store .dll/applications (missing from GYP)

#2 is required if a developer wants to create a .dll that is to be consumed by 
a Windows Store application, or if they want to create the Window Store 
application itself.

Support for Window 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 would be greatly appreciated.

** I have some modifications to GYP that enable adding support for creating 
.dlls that can be consumed by Windows Store applications because that was my 
immediate need.  I will be cleaning up these changes and submitting them for 
review soon.  These changes enable both Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 
compatible projects to compile a .dll.

I have not done any work to support creating full Windows Store projects that 
can create Windows Store applications and was hoping that this request would 
get noticed.
