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
