Hi,
I have done some searching and have read a couple of posts on this
subject, but nothing that quite answers my questions.
I am writing a Windows port of the Thrift RPC library (http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/
) that will build in Visual Studio with no Cygwin or other *nix/Posix
emulation required. Thrift uses libevent, so I tried to build the same
sort of version of libevent.
I was surprised to find that libevent would not build out of the box
on Windows using Visual Studio. However, once I found an open source
version of stdint.h for use in Visual Studio, I was able to get the
1.4.10 stable version building fairly easily. Once the library built,
I was able to build and successfully execute the regression test using
the same technique. The other tests weren't so successful due to
missing vcproj files.
I have two questions:
1) Why doesn't libevent as released just build in Visual Studio if
this was so easy to accomplish for me? Or have I missed something?
2) I would be happy to provide a patch that adds this support. Are any
of the developers interested in receiving it?
Best regards,
Rush
