> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2756
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2756
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build, c client
> Affects Versions: 3.5.2
> Environment: Windows and Linux
> Reporter: Andrew Schwartzmeyer
> Assignee: Andrew Schwartzmeyer

> The C bindings primary build system is Autotools. This obviously does not
> work for Windows, and so the original port to Windows simply added a Visual
> Studio solution to the project, splitting the build system. As new versions
> of Visual Studio have come along, new (probably auto-converted) solutions
> have come along (see zookeeper.sln vs zookeeper-vs2013.sln). When Mesos
> started being ported to Windows, a Visual Studio 2015 solution was needed,
> and the previous developer created yet another solution, and setup Mesos'
> build to patch ZooKeeper and add the 2015 solution. Now Visual Studio 2017
> was released, and in the process of moving Mesos ahead, I realized that I
> would either have to make *yet another* converted solution for ZooKeeper. So
> instead I tackled the root problem, and ported the Autotools build to CMake,
> which is a meta-build system which generates files for the in-use platform
> (whether it be Linux or Solaris or MacOS or Windows).
> NOTE: I already have this patch, and will submit it. It has a couple TODOs,
> and some other things in it that were necessary for Mesos that may need to be
> pulled into separate patches.
