[jira] Commented: (AVRO-700) Change C++ build system to CMake

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-700?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12969552#action_12969552 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-700:
-----------------------------------

With this patch, C++ builds and passes tests for me on Ubuntu 10.10.  However 'lang/c++/build.sh dist' does not copy the final artifact to the top-level dist/cpp directory where the release artifacts are meant to be collected, nor does it build the C++ API documentation and copy it to the top-level build/avro-doc-$VERSION/api/cpp/ as was done before.

> If we move from the current automake to CMake, build becomes portable across multiple platforms. Prior to this patch, Avro C++ was building on Cygwin but was crashing. I've tested this on Ubuntu 10.04 and Cygwin.
> There are problems making it work with Visual Studio 2008 Express, not because of CMake, but because the current build procedure needs Flex, Bison and python. Visual Studio seems to have trouble with these three.
