Support for building using the Visual Studio 2015 compiler

lewissbaker opened this issue · 2 comments

Update the cake.library.compilers.msvc.findMsvcCompiler() function to support searching for Visual Studio 2015 compiler.

Currently (2015-01-18) the final release is not yet available. However there is a 2015 CTP version currently available that could be used for developing support assuming the final release won't change too much.

Some work towards this has been made in 8b240f2.
It currently only works with 2015 CTP6 and traditional Windows SDK installs.

It doesn't currently work with 2015 RC as that changed the directory layout.
It also doesn't currently support sourcing windows headers from Windows Kit installs.

Commit 86a80af improved support for VS2015.
Should work fine with VS2015.3 and latest Windows Kit now.
