How custome toolchain for MSBUILD is supported?

[systemlogic]

This is just a question. Does your project support toolchain present at some custom location. Iff, does it also supports compiling a different code base with different toolchain in the mono repo?

Pointer to examples will be appreciated.

the idea behind my project is using bazel to build c++ project, and convert it to msbuild solution and project. Currently, all test cases under integration\src\test\resources being tested on Windows MSVC toolchain only.

In concept, it could support any bazel friendly toolchain, but its goal for now is to support msbuild projects.

I'm stuck in a custom toolchain issue for MSVC x64 toolchain. https://bazelbuild.slack.com/archives/CGA9QFQ8H/p1640915431134200

Looking into rules_cc source code and debug my build process by using "bzl debug" now...

Finally, I make it work!

Here is the working sample using customer tool chain, in my case it is windows11 + visual studio 2022 preview.
