After generating a .sln and .vcxproj from the gyp file below msbuild fails with
"C:\proj\test\test.sln" (default target) (1) -> (ValidateSolutionConfiguration target) ->
C:\proj\test\test.sln.metaproj : error MSB4126: The specified soluti on configuration "Default|X64" is invalid. Please specify a valid solution conf iguration using the Configuration and Platform properties (e.g. MSBuild.exe Sol ution.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU") or leave those properti es blank to use the default solution configuration. [C:\proj\test\test.sln]
how do I make gyp generate a Default|x64 solution?

Probably you need to have declared target configuration and use it as a default value of target_default, similar to this:
{
'target_defaults': {
'default_configuration': 'Release_x64',
'configurations':
{
'Debug': {
# configuration specific settings
},
'Release': {
# configuration specific settings
},
'Debug_x64': {
'inherit_from': ['Debug'],
'msvs_configuration_platform': 'x64',
},
'Release_x64': {
'inherit_from': ['Release'],
'msvs_configuration_platform': 'x64',
},
},
},
'targets': [
{
'target_name': 'test',
'type': 'executable',
'sources': [
'test.cpp',
],
},
],
}
