Problem building Proton-c's java bindings on Windows - Cannot open include file: 'stdbool.h

[Keith W <ke...@gmail.com>]

I’m trying to build Proton-C’s Java Bindings on Windows using
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 in order to verify the changes for
PROTON-249.

I’m following the instructions in the README successfully but I am
failing to build target proton-jni (proton target is building okay).
It is failing whilst trying to compile the Swig generated C code with
the following error.


5>------ Build started: Project: proton-swig, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
5>Build started 27/02/2013 16:30:14.
5>InitializeBuildStatus:
5>  Touching "proton-swig.dir\Debug\proton-swig.unsuccessfulbuild".
5>CustomBuild:
5>  All outputs are up-to-date.
5>ClCompile:
5>  javaJAVA_wrap.c
5>X:\src\proton\proton-c\include\proton/engine.h(27): fatal error
C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdbool.h': No such file or
directory
5>
5>Build FAILED.

I suspect that the binding/java/CMakeLists.txt needs to pass compiler
flags when on Windows (via swig) in a similar way to that done in
proton-c’s CMakeLists.txt.

Can anyone give me a pointer into exactly what needs to be done?


Kind regards, Keith.

Visual Studio is not friendly to modern day C (a perennial complaint
that falls on deaf ears).  You must use its C++ compiler on the
proton-c code base.  In the case of swig via Visual Studio, you have
to coax it to use C++ too.

See the lines

  if (BUILD_WITH_CXX)
     SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(python.i PROPERTIES CPLUSPLUS ON)
  endif (BUILD_WITH_CXX)

in proton-c/bindings/python/CMakeLists.txt.  Hopefully a similarly
constructed directive will get swig compile working.
