I just joined the mailing list recently, so forgive me if the question has already been addressed. Any plans to move to VS2015 w/ the features they're pushing it seems like a one IDE fits all/most targets situation.

I'll be putting together some VS2015 project files for WinRT, as part of some ongoing Win10/UWP work, however I'm not sure if and when this would arrive in SDL-proper. (My work's being done outside of hg.libsdl.org, and probably won't get much work on it until the Fall, at the earliest.)

I could probably try tackling the creation of a VS2015 project file for Win32 around that time (Fall), if someone doesn't get to it by then. I wouldn't mind having a VS2015 project for Win32 myself, with better support for Project-to-Project reference. Whether or not it gets pushed to hg.libsdl.org is up to the highers-up though (Sam, Ryan, maybe others?) :-). There are probably lots of subtleties in the VC++/Win32 project files that I'm not as clued-in on, as I am with the WinRT-specific VC++ projects, so I might miss something in creating something like this. I think Sam recently did some work on older VC++/Win32 projects recently, as well.

Cheers!

The latest SDL snapshot has a unified project for Win32 with Visual Studio 2010 and later. I just opened it with Visual Studio 2015 Community RC edition and built SDL just fine.

I was installing 2015 when I asked, after having updated to the latest repo head and noticing all the other sln files disappeared.

Can't you just generate the solutions with cmake?
(No idea if cmake supports VS2015, but I guess if you generate for 2013
or some other older version, VS2015 will be able to import and convert that)

Cheers,
Daniel
