[Announcement] REEF now Requires VS 2017

[Markus Weimer <ma...@weimo.de>]

Hi,

as of a few minutes ago, REEF can only be compiled with VS 2017. If you
have not done so, please update your installations and build servers.

Welcome to the future :)

I agree that would be less risky and I think that should be possible.

Originally I did try to target the existing Bridge project but ran into a
number of issues - mainly related to using dotnet and targeting .net core.
If we were to instead only target the other frameworks and then target .net
core when BridgeCLR is ready, that may get us to a point where we can
integrate the VS2017 project files.

I am currently under a deadline with some other unrelated work, but I will
try to get to this as soon as possible (maybe this weekend?). If someone
wants to take a crack at it I can give all the details.

Thanks,

Scott

Yes, I meant those.

Is there a way to have new project files for all but the bridge, and have
those new projects depend on the old bridge code? That way, we could
frontload a bunch of the work (and risk) of moving to the new build system.

Thanks,

Hi Markus,

Assuming you are referring to the DotNet.csproj files -- unfortunately no,
not in the current state. The project files are ported but they are
targeting the Bridge.CLR project (and not the Bridge project). Once the
avro integation is complete, we can then switch to the new projects as they
do target .net45/.net46 (if either of those platforms are still needed).

Hi,

now that we made the switch, maybe we can also switch the build system
over? @Scott, do you know if / how that's possible?

Thanks,

Markus
