Application of Vs2012 in Linux development (3): Adding a new platform hi3516

Below we will add a new platform support for VS2012 , because recently in the hi3516with HiSilicon, choose it!

1.1Copy platform files

I always thought that to let VS support a new platform to write code, one day when looking at the MSBUILD directory suddenly found a magical directory:

The secret of the new platform is right here!!

Here the hi3516 originally did not have, just to add to hi3516 this platform support and added to. We have a copy of the ARM directory, renamed hi3516.

Then change arm in the file name to hi3516, replacing the "arm" string in all files in the hi3516 directory with "hi3516"(performing a string operation), It's brutal, it's violent, but it works!

1.2Modify the registry to add a new platform

Next, modify the registry to import the following content (results from the ARM table entries):

[hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\visualstudio\11.0_config\vc\libraries\extended\hi3516]

"Version" = "50727.01"

"Install" =dword:00000001

"Installertype" = "MSI"

"SP" =dword:00000000

"Spindex" =dword:00000000

"Spname" = "RTM"

"Bld" = "50727"

"Rbld" = "00001"

"Paddedversion" = "5072700001"

[Hkey_users\s-1-5-21-3453089637-102051711-1108187228-1000\software\microsoft\visualstudio\11.0exp_config\vc\ LIBRARIES\EXTENDED\HI3516]

"Version" = "50727.01"

"Install" =dword:00000001

"Installertype" = "MSI"

"SP" =dword:00000000

"Spindex" =dword:00000000

"Spname" = "RTM"

"Bld" = "50727"

"Rbld" = "00001"

"Paddedversion" = "5072700001"

[hkey_local_machine\software\wow6432node\microsoft\visualstudio\11.0\vc\libraries\extended\hi3516]

"Version" = "50727.01"

"Install" =dword:00000001

"Installertype" = "MSI"

"SP" =dword:00000000

"Spindex" =dword:00000000

"Spname" = "RTM"

"Bld" = "50727"

"Rbld" = "00001"

"Paddedversion" = "5072700001"

[Hkey_users\. DEFAULT\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\VISUALSTUDIO\11.0_CONFIG\VC\LIBRARIES\EXTENDED\HI3516]

"Version" = "50727.01"

"Install" =dword:00000001

"Installertype" = "MSI"

"SP" =dword:00000000

"Spindex" =dword:00000000

"Spname" = "RTM"

"Bld" = "50727"

"Rbld" = "00001"

"Paddedversion" = "5072700001"

After you've done both of these things, you can add a new platform to your IDE project:

Unfortunately, we now look at the properties of the project as follows:

This is because MSBUILD has not yet seen the definition of the project properties.

1.3Import Project Property Definition

Open the vcxproj project file to view its imported properties:

<import project= "$ (vctargetspath) \microsoft.cpp.default.props"/>

<import condition= "$ (Platform) = = ' Win32 '" project= "$ (vctargetspath) \microsoft.cpp.targets"/>

We need to add HI3516 's Import properties:

<import condition= "$ (Platform) = = ' hi3516 '" project= "$ (vctargetspath) \microsoft.cpp.targets"/>

We are familiar with the properties of the project back!!!!
