The FATE tests for MSVC versions older than 2013 are untested in FATE and apparently are no longer supported. This commit makes the configure process error out in case an older version is used, and suggests to use a supported version of MSVC to compile. This also changes the documentation to reflect this. As discussed on IRC: 2018-05-12 19:45:16 jamrial then again, most of those were for old msvc, and i think we're not supporting versions older than 2013 (first one c99 compliant) anymore 2018-05-12 19:45:43 +JEEB yea, I think 2013 update 2 is needed 22:53 <@atomnuker> nevcairiel: which commit broke/unsupported support for msvc 2013? 23:23 <@atomnuker> okay, it was JEEB 23:25 <+JEEB> which was for 2012 and older 23:25 <+JEEB> and IIRC we no longer test those in FATE so that was my assumption 23:26 <+JEEB> 2013 is when MS got trolled enough to actually update their C part 23:26 <+JEEB> aand actually advertised FFmpeg support 23:26 <+JEEB> (although it was semi-failing until VS2013 update 1 or 2) Signed-off-by: Rostislav Pehlivanov <atomnuker@gmail.com>
