[Scons-users] Switch off detection of Visual Studio version?

[Kenny, Jason L]

I think the current setup is a little broken in SCons. Gary might have a better suggestion oh how to control the setup with MS and Intel compiler. The main issue for me is that when using the Intel compiler, you need to tell it what version of CL or gcc it is using. If you only have one version of CL or gcc installed this is easy, and SCons will do the right thing. If you have more than one version, or want to cross compiler it get more complex.

I tried to start supporting The Intel compiler in SCons, but ended up with only supporting it in my SCons add on called Parts. Hopefully I will get my act together and get stuff in to SCons better go forward. Till that happens I can suggest you ask Gary about how to do this. You can also try the use Part to set up the tool chain instead. It should work fine. If you do this you can say stuff like:

Scons --toolchain=icl_11.1,mstools_10 ...

And this would setup the latest version of Intel Composer 11.1 using 2010 MSVC related tools and headers.

I attached a simple sample with the latest version of the updated documentation I have in the works, and yet to publish. There should be support for MSVC up to 2010 and icl up to 12.1. The 13 version of icc or Composer 2013 is not officially out yet, I will have support for that once it is officially out the door. I will also add VC 2012 support soon as well.
Just in case you want to consider using Parts with SCons as an option.

Thank you for the answer. I sort of knew that already but my question is still if it is possible to turn off the automatic detection. We are using the Intel C++ Compiler on top of Visual Studio, and then we use the Intel setup tools to configure the environment, e.g.,

iclvars ia32 vs2005

specifies use VS 2005, and

iclvars is32 vs2010

specifies VS 2010. The iclvars script sets the include and library paths, and then I do not want scons to mess up those.

Hello,

Is it possible to switch off the automatic detection of Visual Studio version? This has confused me during the day when I installed VS 2010 in parallel with VS 2005, and wanted VS 2005 to be the default. (We are using the Intel Compiler where the environment is setup and controlled using an iclvars script).

Just set MSVC_VERSION when constructing the Environment.  Example:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3079344/forcing-scons-to-use-older-compiler
