VisualGDB use g++ when linking C program

[AnthonyF]

Hello,

I have created an Embedded Project using MSBuild and a custom toolchain (GNU toolchain rebuild for RISC-V).
Its call gcc to compile the C file but always g++ for the link.
This fail to link as g++ want libstdc++ and we do not have it.
How I can do to make it use gcc and not g++ for the link.

Thanks
Anthony

Hi,

The rules for invoking the linker for the MSBuild projects are stored in the %VISUALGDB_DIR%\MSBuild\Targets\link.targets file:

<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(GCCBinaryNameForLinking)' == ''">
  <GCCBinaryNameForLinking>$(GCCBinaryName)</GCCBinaryNameForLinking>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(GXXBinaryNameForLinking)' == ''">
  <GXXBinaryNameForLinking>$(GXXBinaryName)</GXXBinaryNameForLinking>
</PropertyGroup>

<GCCLink 
  Sources="@(Link)" 
  CC="$(GCCBinaryNameForLinking)"
  CXX="$(GXXBinaryNameForLinking)"
  ...
>

Hence, you can redefine the GCCBinaryNameForLinking and GXXBinaryNameForLinking to arbitrary values in a PropertyGroup inside your project, and it will replace the default values.
