James E. King, III commented on THRIFT-2571:
--------------------------------------------
libevent generates a file called event-config.h when used with "./configure" -
unfortunately on Windows native there is no such tool and no event-config.h
gets created, so compiling against libevent does not work. Further, libevent
uses a header called "event.h" which conflicts with an identically named header
in the Windows Platform SDK. CMake will pick up the Platform SDK as the
LibEvent_INCLUDE_DIRS variable, so you need to edit CMakeCache.txt and change
it to the real location, however once you do that, you run into the
event-config.h issue.
So I have given up on libevent on Windows for the time being. I found that the
thriftz library does not depend on the thrift library in CMake however the
windows linker complains about a couple missing things. So I made thriftz
depend on thrift in my local copy.
Sadly, when I try to link thriftz or any of the unit tests, I get
"..\Debug\thriftd.lib not found". That's really bizarre, so I enabled verbose
output in Visual Studio 2010 and see the link line:

Clearly there is an IMPLIB defined but it is not a valid path for Windows. My
guess is since nothing is defined __declspec(dllexport), no .lib is being
created for the dynamic library, hence no .lib file to be found. I'll try only
using static libraries, I guess.
> Simplify cross compilation using CMake

> Key: THRIFT-2571
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2571
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Pascal Bach
> Assignee: Henrique Mendonça
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.9.2
>
>
> Using CMake would simplify cross compilation.
> The for example the same build script can be used to build:
> - Native for Linux using GCC
> - Native for Windows using Visual Studio
> - Cross compile for ARM on Linux
> - Cross compile for Windows form Linux using mingw32
> It also makes it easy to generate project files for Eclipse or Visual Studio.
> h2. Some examples:
> {code:title=Create an eclipse project|borderStyle=solid}
> mkdir build_ec && cd build_ec
> cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" ../compiler/cpp
> make
> {code}
> Now open the folder build_ec using eclipse.
> {code:title=Create a Visual Studio project (Windows only)|borderStyle=solid}
> mkdir build_vs && cd build_vs
> cmake -G "Visual Studio 12" ../compiler/cpp
> {code}
> Now open the folder build_vs using Visual Studio.
> {code:title=Cross compile using mingw32|borderStyle=solid}
> mkdir build_mingw32 && cd build_mingw32
> cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../contrib/mingw32-toolchain.cmake
> ../compiler/cpp
> make
> {code}
