Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Switch master and master-2.4 to Visual Studio 2015?

[Roland Knall <rknall@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jumping to 2017 would bring some advantages in building, as well as build-system integration, native cmake integration for instance. But I would only jump for the master.

We also would have to consider, a lot of people building on company PCs may not have the option to switch to 2017, as they are set on a version by their IT departments. Therefore we would have to keep compatibility to older versions (2015 at least), but this could be handled by cmake. 

cheers

Roland

We currently build all of our Windows packages using Visual Studio 2013. Unless anyone has any objections I'd like to switch the master and master-2.4 builders to Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 ahead of the 2.4 release.

No objections, although I was considering a jump straight to 2017 once I work out how to get the Qt 5.9 build for 2017.
