Can't seem to convert a VC 8.0 Solution

[RJP Computing]

I can't seem to convert a Visual C++ 8.0 solution to a Code::Blocks project. Now it accepts it in the file menu but then nothing happens. It just finishes without any response and the projects don't seem to be loaded. If this isn't implimented yet, is it on the list to add?

Thanks.

Importing VC7.1 solutions work quite fine, but I am not sure that it is possible to import VC8 solutions.

Attach your solution file here to see what's wrong. Not the source code, just the .sln/.vcproj file(s).

Importing VS8 solutions make the new project files and workspaces kinda "wonky". I'm glad the world has yet to move everything to VS8 at the moment, but it will change soon... ioquake3 has already moved to VS8, so we will eventually need that support...

Here is a solution and a vcproj. Code::Blocks does import the project. Just not the solution.

The fix is in SVN.

Hi,

Is anyone working on the more "advanced" features of visual studio 2005 projects? I'm especially talking about the inheritance of property sheets. That's a feature we at the research facility are using a lot, and actually it would be very cool if codeblocks would support that natively.

The property sheets are just xml files like the project files, but projects can "inherit" a property sheet, and the properties (build options, include dirs, ...) of the sheet will automatically be used (unless the project itself overwrites the settings off course). This is much more powerfull than template projects, because you can have a bunch of projects that inherit some property sheets, and if you change the sheet, all projects will automatically use the new settings.

Is the vc++ 8 solution parse code in the same files as the vc++ 7.1 one? Cause I was looking for it, but only found one for vc++ 7.1.


Great work on this project!

Edit: I posted a feature request for the support of inherited settings in codeblocks: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=2842

Works great. Thanks. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.
