James E. King, III commented on THRIFT-3973: -------------------------------------------- I have created a set of batch files that a few folks are testing. These help automate the fairly tedious tasks of building third party dependencies, and passing the right combination of flags to cmake to make a fully featured windows build with support for zlib, openssl, and libevent. These batch scripts should make it easier to get started with Thrift C++ on Windows. Once they are ready they will be checked into the project, possibly under build/windows. > Remove MSVC C++ projects to improve maintainability; document building Thrift > on Windows using CMake to generate project files > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: THRIFT-3973 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3973 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Story > Components: C++ - Compiler, C++ - Library > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Environment: Windows > Reporter: James E. King, III > Assignee: James E. King, III > > A class of issues has popped up where the project files checked into the > project have become stale and/or the instructions for building on windows > need to be updated. > These issues are linked to this item. The purpose of this story is to > eliminate these issues by getting rid of the project files checked into the > project for windows (C++ specifically) and to update the web site > documentation on how to build the thrift libraries for windows (native, not > MinGW - those instructions will remain as-is). > Acceptance Criteria: > # MSVC project files for C++ are removed from the project. > # Instructions for generating projects are provided on the web site. This > must include support for: > ## Compiler executable builds in debug and release form > ## Static library builds in debug and release form (due to DLL export issues, > windows builds do not support dynamic library generation today) > ## Support for optional library support like zlib, libevent, boost, std > (threads) > ## Support for MSVC 2010 or later > ## Support for CMake 3.6 or later -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
