THRIFT-3973: Provide some tools to make it easier to build thrift C++ on
Windows
As a contributor and committer on the project with a focus on C++ and
CMake, I needed a way to build thrift C++ on windows with all the bells and
whistles. While cmake is a great tool for generating build environments on
different platforms, there is still an ecosystem of third party libraries
surrounding thrift that need to be acquired or built.
I was not certain if these files should end up in build/wincpp or in
contrib/wincpp. These files are not used in any of our CI builds. They simply
exist as a guide to make it easier to build thrift C++ on windows, including
how to build a redistributable thrift compiler for windows without any
dependencies, and how to generate Visual Studio projects for thrift on windows.
As part of this effort, the current C++ MSVC projects that are distributed
with the project will be removed once folks are happy with this toolset.
The README.md file contains information that can eventually be posted on:
https://thrift.apache.org/docs/install/windows
and the content there will be split into "older build information" and this
would be the current.
