Error on 1.0.5

[sylar501]

Hi Stephen,

I have tried the latest 1,0,5 version (thanks for that!) and I now have the following error preventing me to successfully import projects:

Unknown os-linker combination: Windows-msvc

Is MSVC supported as a toolchain with m2e-nar ?

Many thanks

C.

It is not supported yet. I don't have access to a licensed Windows/MSVC development environment so it's not possible for me to integrate and test the required mapping. Feel free to give it a go yourself and post a pull request!

I would do that happily but I am not too familiar with Maven plug-in programming - would you mind indicating the main steps for adding a new compiler into m2e-nar in a correct way ? Roughly what you would do yourself had you an access to MSVC. Thanks a lot !

I've just realised that there is Visual Studio Community Edition available for free (I must say I'm a bit out of touch with the Windows programming world!) I guess that this will install the compiler that I can use with NAR and Eclipse. I'll give it a go this week.

There is indeed ! Let me know if you need assistance in getting up to speed with MSVC ;)

Many thanks for your work.

I've been fighting with Eclipse and Visual Studio and it seems that Eclipse CDT support for MSVC is limited. This is what I found in the source :
// Current support is for Windows SDK 8.0 with Visual C++ 11.0
// or Windows SDK 7.1 with Visual C++ 10.0
// or Windows SDK 7.0 with Visual C++ 9.0
It resolves the SDK include paths in that order, taking the first it finds. I would have to switch off this behaviour in Eclipse and redevelop this part in order for the compilation to behave the same way as nar-maven-plugin.
What I'm saying is it's not so easy so you'll have to be patient!
