[Windows] Codelite and Visual Studio 2017 Community

[cturnes]

I'm having a lot of difficulty getting Codelite to see the VS2017 compilers after installing VS 2017 Community. The system doesn't automatically recognize the compiler, and if I try adding the directoy of cl.exe, nmake.exe, etc., it doesn't seem to work either. I have an old machine that had a trial version of VS2017 professional installed and had Codelite working with its compilers, so I could in theory manually copy the compiler settings and give the paths to the compiler, linker, etc., but this seems excessively tedious.

Has anyone gotten this set up to work?

I've got MinGW installed and it's configured as expected, but I need VS to be integrated as well because my goal is to check some things against the VS compiler as well as gcc.

Any help is appreciated.

This is because that the auto-detector does not support (yet) VS2017. You will need to open a bug about this
