Convert Scons-file to VisualStudio Project File

Question

Good afternoon.

I have a build script in Scons:

methods.update_version()

# scan possible build platforms

platform_list = [] # list of platforms
platform_opts = {} # options for each platform
platform_flags = {} # flags for each platform


active_platforms=[]
active_platform_ids=[]
platform_exporters=[]
global_defaults=[]

for x in glob.glob("platform/*"):
    if (not os.path.isdir(x)):
        continue
    tmppath="./"+x

    sys.path.append(tmppath)
    import detect

    if (os.path.exists(x+"/export/export.cpp")):
        platform_exporters.append(x[9:])
    if (os.path.exists(x+"/globals/global_defaults.cpp")):
        global_defaults.append(x[9:])
    if (detect.is_active()):
        active_platforms.append( detect.get_name() )
        active_platform_ids.append(x);
    if (detect.can_build()):
        x=x.replace("platform/","") # rest of world
        x=x.replace("platform\\","") # win32
        platform_list+=[x]
        platform_opts[x]=detect.get_opts()
        platform_flags[x]=detect.get_flags()
    sys.path.remove(tmppath)
    sys.modules.pop('detect')

module_list=methods.detect_modules()

This script collects game engine Godot (http://www.godotengine.org) I want to convert this script in the project file of Visual Studio 2010. In Scons have corresponding command env.MSVSProject(). Description:

Builds a Microsoft Visual Studio project file, and by default builds a solution file as well.Example usage:

barsrcs = ['bar.cpp'], barincs = ['bar.h'], barlocalincs = ['StdAfx.h'] barresources = ['bar.rc','resource.h'] barmisc = ['bar_readme.txt']

dll = env.SharedLibrary(target = 'bar.dll', source = barsrcs)

env.MSVSProject(target = 'Bar' + env['MSVSPROJECTSUFFIX'], srcs = barsrcs, incs = barincs, localincs = barlocalincs, resources = barresources, misc = barmisc, buildtarget = dll, variant = 'Release')

More - http://www.scons.org/doc/1.2.0/HTML/scons-user/a8304.html

But I do not understand how to pass the appropriate parameters, as they choose from a script.

Tell me, please.

The MSVSProject builder can create a Visual Studio project but it's only a project for you library with your files in them. You can't convert a SCons' configuration file to a VS project. The builder only serve for people that wanted to work in Visual Studio IDE. But you need to continue compile with the scons command line tool.
