Alex Clemmer commented on MESOS-3139:
-------------------------------------
I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but I think you're saying that the third-party
libraries don't build on Windows.
That's true; I have figured out the quirks of glog and protobuf, but haven't
written them down yet. If you look at my recent reviews(e.g., [1]), you will
see that we're just now getting to a place where glog will be convenient to
build on Windows.

> Right now it's anyone's guess how to build with CMake. If we want people to
> use it, we should put up documentation. The central challenge is that the
> CMake instructions will be slightly different for different platforms.
> For example, on Linux, the gist of the build is basically the same as
> autotools; you pull down the system dependencies (like APR, _etc_.), and then:
> ```
> ./bootstrap
> mkdir build-cmake && cd build-cmake
> cmake ..
> make
> ```
> But, on Windows, it will be somewhat more complicated. There is no bootstrap
> step, for example, because Windows doesn't have bash natively. And even when
> we put that in, you'll still have to build the glog stuff out-of-band because
> CMake has no way of booting up Visual Studio and calling "build."
> So practically, we need to figure out:
> * What our build story is for different platforms
> * Write specific instructions for our "core" target platforms.
