MS Visual Studio 2017

[WolfG]

Greetings!

Can I use "MS Visual Studio Community 2017" for codeblocks at all?

First I tried to configure maually via toolchain but this does NOT allow a new compiler being added.
I've already replaced the default GNU by the 'TDM-GCC-64'compiler with success.

So I changed the default.conf and added

Code

<msvs2017>
				<NAME>
					<str>
						<![CDATA[Microsoft Visual Studio 2017]]>
					</str>
				</NAME>
				<INCLUDE_DIRS>
					<str>
						<![CDATA[C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\include;]]>
					</str>
				</INCLUDE_DIRS>
				<LIBRARY_DIRS>
					<str>
						<![CDATA[C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\lib\x64;]]>
					</str>
				</LIBRARY_DIRS>
				<MASTER_PATH>
					<str>
						<![CDATA[C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023;]]>
					</str>
				</MASTER_PATH>
			</msvs2017>

but this did not solve the issue.


I prefer CB over MSVS IDE, however if I cant use the MSVS compiler I'm having a problem.
Any hint will be very much appreciated.

I use visual studio 2017.  I made a copy of the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010" compiler in codeblocks and then made the changes described here.  Other than the slightly annoying popup at startup mentioned in that thread, everything works OK.
