Quickstart


```cmd

cd my-rust-project

cargo install cargo-vs

cargo vs2017

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" vs\vs2017.sln

```

What's generated?


`vs/.gitignore` since many/most projects don't want .vsode boilerplate checked in IME (although I always provide mine)


`vs/vs2017.sln`


`vs/vs2017/*.vcsproj` - Makefile style projects which will invoke `cargo +stable-%ARCH%-pc-windows-msvc build --target %ARCH%-pc-windows-msvc --package [package] [--bin|--example] [target] [--release]`


Caveat: 32-bit (x86/Win32) builds require an i686 toolchain


When MSVC configures a build environment, rustc will pick up the `%PATH%` provided `link.exe`.


On the plus side, this means it should work for new VS versions rustc doesn't recognize.


On the minus side, this means that `build.rs` and your target use the same linker, and must match architectures.


This could be "fixed" by clearing a bunch of environment variables, but...

Why makefile projects instead of .vs/*.vs.json?


* Easier to retrofit support for legacy Visual Studio versions

* Presumably easier to integrate into your existing C++/C# msbuild mess

* I can't figure out how to launch the graphics debugger with .vs/*

* Proper build matricies
