This updated series fixes the scripts which generated Visual Studio project files. The scripts had bit rotted over the years as other commits changed the git makefile which it post-processes. The series doesn't attempt (yet) to install the Visual Studio compiled product but allows Windows developers familiar with VS to support the Windows SDK port of Git. The fixes are presented in a fine grained manner. The key change in this series is that the failure of using the git/Makefile for a clean dry-run has been identified in perl/Makefile. The new fix replaces two previous hack patches. Grammatical corrections and other comments have all been included. In particular the use of deactivated code is now better explained. The false mode change has also been fixed (from using 'git gui', who's unstage/re-stage action on Windows with its core.filemode=false loses the 'x' bit). The previous patch series was not picked up on $gmane, but is available at http://marc.info/?t=143519065200003&r=1&w=2 (2015-06-25) Older patch series were at: $gmane/21132 (2014-11-20), $gmane/21207 (2014-12-26), and on Msysgit list (2015-02-23) at https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en_US?hl%3Den#!topic/msysgit/aiEVBKjRshY and as a PR https://github.com/msysgit/git/pull/318/files Philip Oakley (16): perl/Makefile: treat a missing PM.stamp as if empty .gitignore: improve MSVC ignore patterns .gitignore: ignore library directories created by MSVC VS2008 buildsystem (msvc-build) Vcproj.pm: remove duplicate GUID engine.pl: fix error message (lib->link) engine.pl: Properly accept quoted spaces in filenames engine.pl: Fix i18n -o option in msvc buildsystem generator engine.pl: ignore invalidcontinue.obj which is known to MSVC engine.pl: name the msvc buildsystem's makedry error file engine.pl: delete the captured stderr file if empty engine.pl: add debug line to capture the dry-run engine.pl: provide more debug print statements Vcproj.pm: list git.exe first to be startup project vcbuild/readme: Improve layout msvc-build: add complete Microsoft Visual C compilation script config.mak.uname: add MSVC No_SafeExeceptionHandler option .gitignore | 8 ++- compat/vcbuild/README | 27 +++++++--- compat/vcbuild/scripts/msvc-build | 86 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ config.mak.uname | 9 ++++ contrib/buildsystems/Generators/Vcproj.pm | 34 ++++++------ contrib/buildsystems/engine.pl | 37 ++++++++++--- perl/Makefile | 2 + 7 files changed, 170 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) create mode 100755 compat/vcbuild/scripts/msvc-build -- 2.4.2.windows.1.5.gd32afb6 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
