C++ SDK for MS VS 2012

[RavilN]

Hi,

Currently there are two versions of the SDK available to download for evaluation - with binaries built on VS 2008 and 2010.
When the version for VS 2012 will be available?

Thank you, Ravil

Hello Ravil,

at the moment, the need for an evaluation version, supporting VS 2012 is not big enough. In the future, when the need grows, we will also support VS2012 for the binary versions of our OPC UA SDKs.
Nevertheless, with the source code versions of our OPC UA SDKs you can compile on nearly any system with your desired IDE.

Does this apply only to evaluation version only, or to licensed versions too? Does it mean that in order to use C++SDK with VS 2012, customers have to buy the version with the source code included? What if source code does not build? Or you can supply prebuilt binaries for VS 1012 in case if a company buys binaries only? If so, do you have prebuilt binaries for VS 2012 ready to ship? Are they tested already? If you don't have pre-built binaries, how long can it take to build and ship them? Would that be free or you would charge?
Thank you, Ravil

Hi RaviIN!

At the moment the need for pre-built VS2012 versions in general is not big enough. This means that neither an evaluation version nor a version including source code will be supported at that time. So also licensed versions are currently not supported.
You are right, that customers have to buy the source version to build the SDK on their own. Our SDK is build with CMake by default and CMake is able to generate Visual Studio project files for nearly all versions available. So the customer don't have to worry that the SDK will not build. If you have the source code version you have the abillity to build the SDK with Visual Studio 2012. But at the moment we do not have any pre-built binaries to ship. This will only be if the need for this version is big enough.

OK, Thank you, now I got complete answer.

One more question: does the same apply for 64-bit versions too? (I can see only 32-bit version downloads),

Thank you, Ravil

Hi RaviIN!

This applies also to x64 builds. With CMake you can build for nearly every IDE and compiler, including 64 Bit.
