 # Configuration for the Visual C/C++ compiler:
+# VCCEXE is a tool that invokes the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt
+# before calling the compiler. 
+# Please make sure either Visual Studio or C++ Build SKU is installed when using the vcc compiler backend.
+
+# With Side-by-side installation support in VS2017, the VCC SDK no longer defines global environment variables
+# that can be used to discover the path for your SDK installation.
+# Because of that and greater flexibility you have to specify the path to the vcvarsall file that initializes
+# the C/C++ Devloper Environment for a specified target architecture.
+
+# The following are the default paths for vcvarsall ordered by Visual Studio versions.
+# Uncomment ONE of the following lines and/or adjust it to match your specific installation
+
+# Visual Studio 2008
+# --passC:"--vcvarsall:\"%VS90COMNTOOLS%..\\\..\\VC\\vcvarsall\""
+# --passL:"--vcvarsall:\"%VS90COMNTOOLS%..\\\..\\VC\\vcvarsall\""
+# Visual Studio 2010
+# --passC:"--vcvarsall:\"%VS100COMNTOOLS%..\\\..\\VC\\vcvarsall\""
+# --passL:"--vcvarsall:\"%VS100COMNTOOLS%..\\\..\\VC\\vcvarsall\""
+# Visual Studio 2012
+# --passC:"--vcvarsall:\"%VS110COMNTOOLS%..\\\..\\VC\\vcvarsall\""
+# --passL:"--vcvarsall:\"%VS110COMNTOOLS%..\\\..\\VC\\vcvarsall\""
+# Visual Studio 2013
+# --passC:"--vcvarsall:\"%VS120COMNTOOLS%..\\\..\\VC\\vcvarsall\""
+# --passL:"--vcvarsall:\"%VS120COMNTOOLS%..\\\..\\VC\\vcvarsall\""
+# Visual Studio 2015
+# --passC:"--vcvarsall:\"%VS140COMNTOOLS%..\\\..\\VC\\vcvarsall\""
+# --passL:"--vcvarsall:\"%VS140COMNTOOLS%..\\\..\\VC\\vcvarsall\""
+# Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition (replace the 'Community' path segment, with the Installation Instance name for your installtion)
+# --passC:"--vcvarsall:\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2107\\Community\\VC\\Auxiliary\\Build\\vcvarsall\""
+# --passL:"--vcvarsall:\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2107\\Community\\VC\\Auxiliary\\Build\\vcvarsall\""
+
+# Note that there are two entries, one 'passC' and one 'passL' entry, so that nim loads the tools both for compilation and linking.
