Project Importer plugin patch

[seb_seb0]

Hello,

I have bad news and good news.
The bad news:
   1 - the project importer plugin does not correctly imports workspace dependencies between projects for MSVC > version 6
   2 - the additionnal include directories are not imported as well.

The good news:
I have corrected these 2 problems in the patch attached.

I have tested it with MSVC8 projects & workspaces files from OpenCascade

PS: this plugin is VERY useful ! Since many open sources projects have VC project files, it is much faster than MSYS ./configure & make, and more convenient too. And for your information, it works better for importing MSVC 6 project files than the newest Visual Studio...
PS2: I plan to extend its functionnality to MSVC 10 projects & workspaces

[reckless]

noticed it had some problems importing all the dependencies from VC projects so good job .

MSVC10 support would indeed be nice to have in also.

if i can help let me know but im no super coder (especially not in c++).

mostly doing hobby work porting gnu utilities to windows and managing my own port of a quake engine (uses cb btw) which is also the reason why c++ newer caught onto me (quake uses c and asm).

I have started MSVC10 support.
Here is the second patch.

Warning: the MSVC10 is not completed yet. It is more a "stub" than anything else (it recognizes configurations and create appropriate targets. I still have to parse all the rest...)

It is not really difficult: it is XML format, and straightforward.
The ".sln" workspace file has not changed => I use the same as for MSVC7

The changes in FileFilters and Globals are minimal: it is just the addition of .vcxproj file extension

if i can help let me know

For now, it is OK: it is mainly a small class to implement. I will continue to work on it tonight and tomorrow.

BTW: The patch is missing the most important two files: msvc10loader.cpp and msvc10loader.h. Without these there is not much I (we) can do... ;-)

I tried the first patch in the meantime. This seems to work OK.

oops. Here they are.
I am sorry if I leave this topic opened: I have received a lot of work recently, and it sucks up all my time...
Hopefully I will be able to finish it one day.

However, you should keep in mind that the plugin extension is currently not functionnal for MSVC10. It is currently mainly a "stub". I would be very surprised if they worked at all.
I attach also a few simple MSVC10 projects, for testing.

Ah - ok. I didn't realise that. But the first patch (without the VC10 stuff) works fine here. That was OK?

Yes, 1st patch is OK.

...any news on that topic btw? I just stumbled across the stub again in my sources. I've modified it quite a bit meanwhile. However, you might have updates yourself to share?

Hi,

no, sorry, no improvement on my side.
I am stuck in a very big project for my work, and I do not have time (until end of April at least).
So if you have something, go ahead !
