Hi,
I am working on a generic cpp task, which should support multiple
compilers. I already have gcc fully working, and I'm now implementing
visual c++.
To support simple configuration of 3rd party libraries, my task has a
packages element, which let you specify which packages you want to use:
<packages>
<package name = "gtkmm-2.4"/>
</packages>
With gcc, these packages are resolved using pkg-config.
The problem is that visual studio doesn't have a system like pkg-config.
To solve this, I was thinking about creating a pkg-config like system for
visual studio myself. The package files would be simple visual c++ 2005
proprety sheets, so that they are fully supported with visual studio by
itself. These property sheets should be placed in a folder, and my task
will then look up packages in that folder, and use the appropriate
property sheets.
What do you think if this?
Now I'm not sure in which folder I should place these property sheets
though. I could create a subfolder in the nant directory, but I don't
think that would be a good idea, because those files aren't really part of
nant itself. I could also create a folder in the root, but that wouldn't
be too polite to the user's system. Program Files maybe? Anybody got
another suggestion?
Greets,
Lieven van der Heide
