No support for Visual Studio C++ 2008 and 2010

Hi,

I just tried your awesome infrastructure and it looks brilliant! :D I have some couple of open-source projects written in C++ that I'd like to build. The compilation with VS2013 works very well. However, I don't see any support for VC2008, 2010 or 2012 (compiling via cmake).

I am wondering, could you please install MSVC 2008 and 2010 C++ EXPRESS editions? (They're each under 1 GiB of space) and express versions are free for all. Having support for them would be really awesome.

Thanks a lot!

   There is no 2008, but C++ Express 2010, 2012 and 2013 are obviously installed. What error are you getting when compiling against 2010?

   We tried deploying 2008 few times but there is always some sort of blocking issues with that. Don't know maybe it should have been installed before 2010.

   This is weird. I get this on my job:

   cmake -G "Visual Studio 10" ..
   CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake:446 (execute_process):
   execute_process given COMMAND argument with no value.
   Call Stack (most recent call first):
   C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake:48 (CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID_VENDOR) C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeDetermineCCompiler.cmake:131 (CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID) CMakeLists.txt:17 (project)

   -- The C compiler identification is unknown

   I am wondering, in what command prompt is the script run? Cause in a local VM I've tried, if I start with the VS2013 developer tools command prompt, then it will work out well that command above, given that MSVC 2010 C++ Express is installed. Or maybe I have to call the VS2013/2010 developer tools command line bat to be able to use that? - I'll try this.

   So, I've tried calling VC10 setup env dir before( call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat") but to no avail, I still get that error.

   MSVC 2008 and 2010 C++ Express are now installed and work as expected, both for 32 and 64 bit builds (via the Windows SDKs). Here is an example to build a Python project with a compiled extension:

   @olivler.grisel Doesn't work with x64 VS2010 http://help.appveyor.com/discussions/questions/1859-cannot-build-visual-studio-2010-for-x64
