2021-05-01Remove Visual Studio 2017 reference from readmeAaron Clauson
This PR was motivated by a comment in GUI PR (257) regarding a suggested improvement not being supported by VS2017. When checking whether master can still be built with the VS2017 toolset ABI issues were encountered. Most likely due to the pre-compiled Qt binaries that are used. It does not seem worth the effort to try and support VS2017, which would most likely require additional Qt binaries, or lengthy instructions on how to build static Qt binaries on Windows (which is very error prone and tedious). Added advisory note about build not working with earlier Visual Studio versions. Fixed grammar.

base address in MSVC builds 9bd3f35003c2e9eff74766d57a71d6b391ab602a build: adds switch for disabling random base addresses in MSVC (Ethan Heilman) Pull request description: In m4 builds we have the --disable-hardening switch that can be given in `./configure` to turn off randomized addresses. This PR provides a simple way of turning off randomized addresses in MSVC builds. This PR: * Adds this option the common-init project file so that it can be globally set across the project * Documents this switch in msvc build readme I have run the following test to verify this works I ran the msvc build with `<RandomizedBaseAddress>true</RandomizedBaseAddress>` then checked `bitcoind.exe` and `bitcoin-cli.exe` with `dumpbin.exe`: bitcoind ``` > .\dumpbin.exe /headers src/bitcoind.exe Microsoft (R) COFF/PE Dumper Version 14.16.27045.0 ...

2021-04-19Re-add command to install vcpkgdplusplus1024
`vcpkg integrate install` must be executed so that msbuild will automatically install external dependencies. It was removed in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/712f95d3324d02310dd468e7bfd1e1b0df432e77 It was originally added in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/76445677586a4c2fa72606b662269a4390c2e71f

2020-09-29Update msvc build to use new vcpkg manifestAaron Clauson
The vcpkg tool has introduced a proper way to use manifests, https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/vcpkg-accelerate-your-team-development-environment-with-binary-caching-and-manifests/. This PR replaces the custom text file mechanism with the new manifest approach. It is planned that vckpg manifests will include the ability to version dependencies in the future. Dependency versions would solve a number of issues that currently require workarounds with the appveyor CI. Set vcpkg manifest version to 1 to avoid any perception it's related to any release or other version numbering.
