[opensource-dev] Viewer Tools Upgrades - with a call for help

Hi,

I thought the plan was to only support VS2013 Community Edition and support for Express since Community Edition is, for all intents and purposes, free and without any further restrictions than the LGPL already lays out? There’s really absolutely no reason for using Express since all qualifications are met for both individuals and organizations building the viewer because the source code has already been released under an OSI-approved license that we all must adhere to anyways.

In short, why support both methods when one is vastly superior with no disadvantages?

Two  methods for command line building have been tested each starting with a fresh build-vc120 directory, with tests and package on.
Machine spec is Intel i7 all 8 cores running with 6GB memory.

autobuild configure -c ReleaseOSCE and autobuild build -c ReleaseOSCE
Calls Devenv.exe which is the build program for VS2013 Community Edition
Build completed in 53 minutes.

autobuild configure -c ReleaseOS and autobuild build -c ReleaseOS
Calls MSBuild.exe which is the build program available in VS2013 Express Edition AND VS2013 Community Edition.
Build completes in 77 minutes.

Should we provide open source developers both methods?

Patch is here:

You are getting an error because that isn't a valid command.  Use "autobuild configure -c RelWithDebInfoOS" OR "autobuild configure -c ReleaseOS"  Also, This will still fail do to tests.  I used: "autobuild configure -c ReleaseOS -- -DPACKAGE:BOOL=OFF -DLL_TESTS:BOOL=OFF" to turn off both packaging and tests.


The tests should work - they do for us, though I suppose some may depend on libs not in open source.
