ASF GitHub Bot commented on THRIFT-2850: ---------------------------------------- GitHub user jeking3 opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/456 THRIFT-2850 cmake win cpp library and unit tests I made changes to the cmake environment so that cmake can build the compiler, static libraries and unit tests on Windows. In my testing I found that the shared thrift library build is not exporting any symbols so no IMPLIB is being generated (that would be thrift.lib or thriftd.lib), so none of the unit tests would link, nor would thriftz. Here's the command I used to generate the environment: mkdir thrift-build cd thrift-build "C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake\bin\cmake.exe" ..\thrift -G"NMake Makefiles" -DWITH_SHARED_LIB=OFF -DWITH_BOOSTTHREADS=ON -DBOOST_ROOT=C:\Boost -DZLIB_ROOT=C:\win3p\tools\x64\zlib-1.2.5 -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=C:\win3p\tools\x64\openssl-1.0.1b -DFLEX_EXECUTABLE=C:\Users\Jim\workspace\winflexbison\win_flex.exe -DBISON_EXECUTABLE=C:\Users\Jim\workspace\winflexbison\win_bison.exe You can also use -G"Visual Studio 10 Win64" to get a thrift.sln file that you can use to load visual studio, this example is for Visual Studio 2010. Visual Studio 2013 would be -G"Visual Studio 12 Win64". I was not able to get the nonblocking server to build because libevent requires autoconf to generate a "event-config.h", and the libevent nmake project does not produce one of these, so I could not compile the non-blocking server; further the libevent header "event.h" conflicts with the Windows Platform SDK header Event.h, so FindLibevent.cmake always finds the Platform SDK as an include directory, so I did not attempt to get it working right now. Tested this on Windows and on Ubuntu 12.04 using CMake-3.2.2. When running the tests on Windows you need to put the library paths into your PATH environment for boost, openssl so that they can be found. The CMake environment does not copy required libraries into the "bin" directory at this time.

The other aspect is simplify the release process and > package generation process. > As nice side benefit of CMake is the generation of development environment > specific solution files(VisualStudio, Eclipse, Xcode, etc. ). => No solution > files within source tree. > We are already building Apache Thrift with CMake for Linux-ARM, Linux-x86, > Windows CE and Windows. > We are in preparation phase for a pull request here: > https://github.com/siemens/thrift/commits/cmake-master -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
