Coming soon to your local builds, Visual Studio project files will be generated automatically when building on Windows because we want to encourage more people to use them because fully-featured IDEs can be productivity wins.
The Visual Studio projects now automatically target the Visual Studio version being used (1 week ago they would always generate VS2013 project files). Another new change is that unless the build configuration changes, the Visual Studio files won't be updated by the build system unless they need changed. That means if you do a pull+build when Visual Studio is open, you shouldn't get tons of warnings that you need to reload files to pick up changes. The Visual Studio integration isn't perfect. We'd like to encourage more development on Windows because that's where most Firefox users are. So if you'd like improvements to the Visual Studio project files, please file Core :: Build Config bugs. This change was tracked in bug 1275297. Bug 1275419 tracks a follow-up to allow disabling their generation. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
