Current toolset requirements for building native code? about sagetv

[JustFred51]

Was hoping that the community would chime in. With no response, I'm going to propose the following:

1. DirectX SDK (June 2010), MS's "final" release of DXSDK
2. Windows SDK v6.1, (last release that included qedit.h)
3. Visual Studio 2015 (Community Edition)

Based on the above, I'm very close to a commit that will update the build environment for windows native code.

This all sounds fine to me as long as VS 2015 (Community Edition) is
something that can be downloaded freely. IIRC there is a way to do that;
although it's not on Microsoft's site.

VS2015 Community Edition is a free download. It includes MS's refactored libraries, full toolset and integration with Git. I've successfully migrated the Solution, got everything to build in VS2015 and am running the resultant binaries (exe, dll and ax). I've also brought the Directshow BaseClasses into third_party\Microsoft so that it automatically builds within the Solution. Doing so avoids the old way of having to manually copy from SDK 6.1 & manually build them "someplace else", It insures that the toolset settings are consistent across the entire Solution. As part of the commit, there is a HOWTO that details exactly which environment variables, SDKs, etc. are needed and where to download and set them up.

Awesome work so far. :)

generate a pull request as soon as I understand exactly how to use Git's
branching model.
