I need to compile a program automatically with different platform toolsets. The compilation is done using cl.exe and link.exe like so:
cl.exe file.c /GS- /PlatformToolset=vc140xp /analyze- /W3 /Gy /Zc:wchar_t /Gm- /Od /Zc:inline /fp:precise /D \"WIN32\" /D \"_WINDOWS\" /D \"_UNICODE\" /D \"UNICODE\" /errorReport:prompt /WX- /Zc:forScope /Gd /Oy- /Oi /MD /Fa\"\" /EHsc /nologo /Fo\"\" /Fp\"\" /diagnostics:classic /link %link_additional% /ENTRY:wWinMain /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /MANIFEST:EMBED /NXCOMPAT /DYNAMICBASE \"kernel32.lib\" \"user32.lib\" \"gdi32.lib\" \"winspool.lib\" \"comdlg32.lib\" \"advapi32.lib\" \"shell32.lib\" \"ole32.lib\" \"oleaut32.lib\" \"uuid.lib\" \"odbc32.lib\" \"odbccp32.lib\" /DEBUG:NONE /MACHINE:%arch% /OPT:REF /SAFESEH /INCREMENTAL:NO /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /MANIFESTUAC:\"level = 'asInvoker' uiAccess = 'false'\" /OPT:ICF /ERRORREPORT:PROMPT /NOLOGO /TLBID:1\
I'm using the switch /PlatformToolset=vc140xp but, the cl.exe doesn't seem to reconginze it, i get an error:
Unknown Option: /PlatformToolset
Is there a way you can change toolset using cl.exe, without msbuild and vcproj ?
Just incase someone need it, i was able to solve this isuue. i added this option to cl.exe:
/D \"_USING_V110_SDK71_\"
And also i modified this option:
/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS
to
/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS,5.01
After the application runs succesfully on windows xp. You might encounter some problems if you are heavily useing crt in your exe, in my exe i only needed CRT to define Tls callbacks, they do not work without CRT, so i guess maybe this is why this worked for me
