[question] Is there a conan v2 build helper to honor profile in nmake builds?

See original GitHub issue

I’ve read the CONTRIBUTING guide.

In conan v1, to ensure that we honor profile in nmake build, we have this kind of pattern:

            with tools.vcvars(self):
                with tools.environment_append(VisualStudioBuildEnvironment(self).vars):
                    self.run("nmake -f makefile.vc)

For vccars, there is conan.tools.microsoft.VCVars we can call in generate(), but how to properly populate CL & LIB so that build_type, runtime, tools.build:cflags, tools.build:cxxflags, tools.build:defines etc from profile are honored?

Then, my proposal would be a new modern NMake dedicated generator.

Regarding os and arch not sure what you mean. The previous VisualStudioBuildEnvironment integration didn’t do anything regarding those settings, it is not clear what should be passed to the compiler to cross compile.

I guess it’s already handled by VCVars generators actually.

tools.build:jobs can be honored by injecting /MP<build_jobs> in CL, or just /MP if tools.build:jobs is not set (for consistency with other build systems).
