visual studio project files format conversion
Last modified: 2007-06-15 09:37:43 UTC
VS can't load project files in UNIX format. VS projects files *.dsw and *.dsp need to be converted to Windows file format (for new lines) when releasing. It'll be great if we can do it for coming releases. The problem concerns all packages. Thanks, Sebastien
Created attachment 88858 [details] [review] convert files to CRLF at dist time Thomas, do you like this patch?
Does CVS convert the cr/lf when they're committed or something? I want to be sure we won't end up adding lf to files that already have DOS line-endings.
Doesn't cvs do that on checkout? Maybe converting those files once and running 'cvs admin -kb' on them would be enough?
yeah, should be fixed on the VCS level for sure. Treat the files as binary and that's it. Possibly add a dist-time check to assure htey are, and commplain loudly if not.
Let's do it immediately after I get this release out then - it's not a regression afaics.
Actually, for the release, I'll run unix2dos on all the dsp and dsw files manually before disting, and then we can fix CVS afterward.
OK, fixed in CVS for Core, Base, Good, Bad, Ugly & FFmpeg by using cvs admin -kb and unix2dos.
