<juniel_katarn> Hi. There's something that has been bugging me for a while in the Pj64 codebase...
<juniel_katarn> Why do we still maintain VS2008 solution files?
<juniel_katarn> Is this the preferred tool for any of you?
<juniel_katarn> Are there any advantages on the VC9 or eariler MSVC compilers?
<AIO> i use VS2013
<AIO> i personally don't like how the newer versions have buggy and resource intensive IDEs
<juniel_katarn> I agree. I only use the IDE to debug or profile (which I think it does pretty well).
<juniel_katarn> Other than that, I build using command line.
<AIO> but from what i hear, the newer compilers are better
<AIO> not sure, but zilmar might still use vs2008
<juniel_katarn> From some comments on GitHub, I think he assumes only VS2008 builds run fine on Windows XP.
<juniel_katarn> That is no longer the case.
<juniel_katarn> VC9 compilers can still be used from newer VS versions, also from the command line tools.
<juniel_katarn> But I think enforcing outdated IDEs and duplicate makefiles for the very same OS is unnecessary burden.
<Seru-kun> Also GLideN64 got a few commits but still doesn't have what I want D:
<XCat> you can ask him when he gets back.  I am not worried about it
<XCat> it was VC6 only from 1998 to 2007 so, upgrading to VC9 is enough to be thankful for at that point
<XCat> 2009* actually
