Description jani 2015-11-23 20:37:31 UTC 
Currently we can only generate visual studio 2013 solutions

see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnWindows#Build_a_project_file_for_Visual_Studio

With 5.1 we start using visual studio 2015, so the generator should be updated to do:
make vs2013-ide-integration

This requires a change in
<root>/Makefile

and a new generator function in 
<root>/bin/gbuild-to-ide

I'm getting the same error with vs2015 as I was getting with vs2013.

make[1]: *** [cmd] Error 127 

From,
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Error-building-Visual-Studio-2013-project-file-for-LibreOffice-on-Windows-tp4140307p4140941.html

"The "make version 4.0" do it wrong, I build ONLY the VS-Solution with "make version 3.82"
The size is 517.746 Bytes when you have trouble to found, call me, I have forget where I downloaded."

Lode used to download 3.82, but now it downloads 4.0. 

Does anyone has a version of make that works with make vs2013-ide-integration? If so, could you please share it on a cloud storage service and link to it on the wiki?

I've used make 3.8x and 4.0 and even the head repository (own build) with vs2013-ide-integration without issue.

There is a known bug in make that make the code generator fail sometimes, but after trying several times the vs2013-ide-integration does actually work.

I can share the binaries I use and know to work of course (just let me know how/where).

I have not tried VS2015.

This bug is about vs2015, and that is currently not supported.

Do you mean what was done in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=999499ab25df8b293c009ddfa2e0bedbe5e6ce3d ?

Why would it need additional generator in bin/gbuild-to-ide?
Are the project files somehow different? At least they should be compatible.
