NuGet build scripts for POCO C++ libraries

POCO-Windows

---

Deprecated! I've switched over to Vcpkg and will no longer maintain this repository 😊

Inspired by grpc-windows this repository provides fully automated build scripts for the POCO C++ libraries on Windows. While building POCO on Windows by itself is pretty straightforward I missed the convenience of having a NuGet package available which abstracts away the hassle of setting up your projects compiler and linker settings accordingly. This is the sole purpose of this repository: transform POCO Basic into a NuGet package!

Requirements

• Visual Studio 2017 (Community Edition is just fine)
• Git
• NuGet Client (gets downloaded automatically)

How to build

• Clone this repository - obviously
• Run poco_clone.cmd
  • This will clone the 1.8.0 branch fom the official POCO repository
  • It will then download the latest NuGet Client binary
• Run poco_build.cmd
  • This will build POCO Basic components for
    • x86 and x64 architectures
    • Release and Debug build
    • Shared and Static libraries
  • Finally a NuGet package will be created, including all of the resulting binaries

Restrictions

• POCO version is currently hard-coded to 1.8.0
• Build environment only covers Visual Studio 2017 (MSVC 15.0)
• Only POCO Basic components are built

These might get resolved in future updates but currently this setup satisfies my needs (and maybe yours too).

That's still too much work!

Right, I hear ya! If you want it even faster you can use my pre-built package right away. It's currently unlisted because of the restrictions I listet earlier. If they don't bother you, use the package!
