Freezing trunk?
Hi all,
yesterday I started to have a look at each open bug and applied a lot
of patches which were already available and made sense to me or looked
easy enough to not break too much etc. Most of the leftover bugs don't
seem to be easily fixable and we should shift those to another release
in the future.
So, how about freezing the trunk now and mostly only apply fixes for
the patches? I'm sadly still unable to build, therefore need your
support to test the current trunk and report everything I broke. I
will help as much as I can on fixing things, of course.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Thorsten Schöning

Same here. If you're using Ant, I'd do it through Maven.

Not stranger than using Perl or shell scripts or whatever is used in
different built tools. :-) I personally like the idea of abstracting
different compilers and environments, the problem only is with if it
simply doesn't work anymore and one needs to dig into it to get things
fixed. With Perl or shell code one can more easy change things most of
the time, cpptasks instead is a different project which needs to get
built on it's own, one needs to make patched versions available to ant
and/or maven etc.
I will maybe look more closely into cpptasks in the future weeks.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

I'm using apache-ant-1.8.4 + ant-contrib-1.0b2 + cpptasks-1.0b5, with
jdk 1.6 or 1.7 (often needed only to build log4cxx :-/ )
the source of cpptask must be modified to be properly compiled (just
calling 'ant jar'):
- org.apache.xml.serialize -> com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serialize
- /Zi -> /Z7
it's maybe not required for the 'vcproj' targets, but at least is (was?)
required for the direct build.

I think so - managing the several build option (static/shared lib,
static/dynamic runtime, debug/release target, etc) is not
straightforward with them.

I never tried with maven... Probably I should give a t

When looking at the build of apr, I'm tempted to have a try with Cmake.

I'm pretty sure to not use a patched version of cpptask with VS 2013
currently. Could you provide a link? I'm simply using mvn compile or
mvn package or else.

Isn't that an argument to remove the creation of projects by cpptasks?
I have the feeling this would make the build script more maintainable
and we would be less dependent on cpptasks, which isn't supported
anymore anyways.

mvn package successfully builds and executes the test for me on VS 2013
Express.

Except if I missed something, it's really not that simple.
With ant, you have the choice to generate (a) Visual studio project, or
(b) compile directly the source (aka make).
But it's first required to add ant-contrib + a slightly patched version
of cpptask.
(a) makes visual studio 6 projects, which cannot be used by Visual
studio versions above 2008; so you have to convert them with a VS2008
before being able to build with 2010, 2012 or later.
The (b) path is more straightforward (direct call to the compiler
In both case, the unit-test are not built :-/

I simply ignored that for now because I have the feeling the current
codebase isn't very consistent anyways and felt that getting
outstanding patches in is more important than codestyle. Shall we
raise this topic again in some weeks or after our first release? I
would happily reformat some of the files like I did with the XML. ;-)

Good to know, I will think about installing one but my primary goal is
to get something running with my compiler.

Why do you think that? I've thought that besides getting apr and
apr-util in the right directory it's more or less a simple "mvn
compile" or something?

Good idea (and really good initiative).
I'm anyway a bit like Joseph - except that I'll need more time (~a week)
to close something.
To be honest, I've looked at some ticket with patch, but I wasn't really
happy with them (not always aligned with the coding style of
the rest of the lib).
Regarding the tests, I'm able to pass some under windows + visual studio
(btw, the express edition can definitively used to build the lib).
Having it on a CI is a bit more complicated (assuming a windows OS +
visual express); the build from ant can be done in two (at least)
way, but none of them can easily be automatized.

There's none, we only have a page were we mention the environment some
project members use, but it's no officially supported or testet list.
But it's not published yet, you need to build the project site using
"mvn site" yourself first and open building/index.html or look in the
source at trunk\src\site\xdoc\building\index.xml.

I will do today some testing as well.
I will create a branch in git for every commit you did and see where the
problems are. However, I'm unable to compile in Windows, only in linux,
May we have some VMs where to test multiple environments? May we have some
Vagrant machines for example, or Virtualbox? Is anybody in the Microsoft
Academic Program to provide us some VMs for test?
Best regards,
