VS2015 minimal installation
Visual Studio 2015 Build Tools
Lightweight C++ Installation in Visual Studio “15”
Building Visual Studio projects on the command-line
Generate a CMake project, targeting Visual Studio 2015:
cd C:\Users\Public\Documents
mkdir build
cd build
cmake --config Release -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" `
-D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=M:\dependencies\ `
N:\Documents\GitHub\Altus_Standalone
# Build using 4 CPUs
cmake --build . --config Release -- /m:4For building a project generated by CMake, and using Visual Studio 2015:
& "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" .\altus.sln /p:Configuration=Release /maxcpucount
See also: Use the Microsoft C++ toolset from the command line
See what DLL dependencies an EXE depends upon
# Open Visual Studio Native Tools command prompt dumpbin.exe /dependents whatever.exe
Offline installation
See: https://www.techtronic.us/blog/post/technology/visual-studio-2012-update-2-offline-installer/
tl;dr: Run offline installer with "/Layout". For MSVC15 (Visual Studio 2016), it was changed to --layout, which must be given an absolute path.
Version Naming
Visual Studio 2012 is "11"; Visual Studio 2013 is "12; Visual Studio 2015 is "14; Visual Studio 2017 is "15".
Boost uses msvc-11.0, msvc-14.0, etc.
Etc
Best unknown MSVC flag: d2cgsummary. Option highlights the functions that compile the slowest. Officially become documented in Visual Studio 2017: Throughput improvements & advice
Why Mixing Visual Studio Versions is Evil. tl:dr: Make sure the same (or preferably, only 1) VS runtime allocates memory, and pass only primitive objects (e.g. float) or arrays of those types.
