Andrew Schwartzmeyer commented on MESOS-5994:
---------------------------------------------
Pending patches put us a lot closer to enabling this, as hard-coded linkage to
the static or shared library has been removed (barring noted places where it is
unsupported).
> Add Windows support for modules
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-5994
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5994
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: modules
> Environment: Windows
> Reporter: Joseph Wu
> Assignee: Andrew Schwartzmeyer
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: agent, master, mesos, mesosphere, windows
>
> Modules are currently not supported on Windows due to a couple limitations:
> * GCC and Clang export all symbols to shared libraries by default. MSVC has
> the opposite behavior and does not export any symbols by default. To
> properly create a shared library on Windows, one must
> {{__declspec(dllexport)}} every single exposed function/class.
> * CMake 3.4+ has utilities for auto-generating exports, but upgrading the
> CMake requirement has other version incompatibilities.
> * We can't load a statically linked module due to a runtime check in the
> protobuf library.
> For now, module-related code is not compiled on Windows.
