"Unknown Microsoft compiler"

[tallent_e]

Hi all.

I am encountering difficulties with QL 1.2.1 with Visual Studio 2011 Beta (Windows 32 bits)

I get a "Unknown compiler version" error message as I try to compile.

Following MS11 suggestion, I 'updated' my version of QL. Everything went well.

I don't know where to go from here !?

Any help would be appreciated.

Below, I paste the error message I get.

Hi Edouard,

 

In auto_link.hpp, to define QL_LIB_TOOLSET you condition on the microsoft predefined macro _MSC_VER. The value of _MSC_VER for your version of visual studio is probably not accounted for here. To find your value of _MSC_VER (I guess that it is 1700), compile the following code snippet and the value of _MSC_VER should be in the build output (got this tip here).

 

#define __STR2__(x) #x
#define __STR1__(x) __STR2__(x)
#define __PPOUT__(x) #x ": " __STR1__(x)
 
#if defined(_MSC_VER)
    #pragma message(__PPOUT__(_MSC_VER))
#endif

 

int main() {
    return 0;
}

 

Then add the two lines (with plus signs) below to auto_link.hpp:

 

#elif (_MSC_VER == 1600)
#  define QL_LIB_TOOLSET "vc100"
+ #elif (_MSC_VER == <your value of _MSC_VER here>)
+ #  define QL_LIB_TOOLSET "<your value of $(PlatformToolset) here>"
#else

 

You can find your value of $(PlatformToolset) by right-clicking on any of the projects, and in properties -> Configuration Properties -> General, select the drop down box on Output Directory and select Edit -> Macros. This will give you a list of Macros and their values. Scroll down to $(PlatformToolset) to see your value. Again, I guess that it is vc110.

 

I hope that this works but I have no way of testing it as I am using visual studio 2010.

 

Regards,

Francis.
