Dirty old-fashioned cook batch scripts for Windows MSVC building

...OK, but for building what?

• Apache httpd and its deps
• Apache subversion and its deps
• PHP and most of its deps
• other cool stuff
  • geographiclib
    • dependencies
    • sdlna
    • verpatch
    • run-hidden
    • cygwin
      • memcached
      • proxytunnel
      • sslh
    • Java
      • mapsforgesrv
      • tzdataservice
      • fit2gpx
      • mobac

This tool-chain is the result of... many years of “evolution” ^^

I've done some job to make them readable, quite usable and contextualized but this is more for offering ideas to those who want to self-made some of these stuffs.

I'll answer if detail needed and all feedback that may improve them will be appreciate

Note, that the goal is to have quick pseudo-automated build for testing use I voluntary disable testing, man & co. in the “pipeline” to speed up it, but always launch manual testing build for new version before start cooking ;)

HOW-TO

1. Install requirements

2. copy env_sample.bat to env.bat and fill your paths according to requirements install path

3. launch simple command prompt in check-outed directory

4. init

   1. Choose your toolset version: vs17.bat (v142) or vs18.bat (v143)

   2. Choose your architecture: x64.bat

   3. Choose your CPU instruction level: avx.bat 0 (SSE2) or avx.bat 1 (AVX) or avx.bat 2 (AVX2)

      shortcut example for classic usage: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k vs18 && x64 && avx 2

   4. go srccreate to clone and checkout all src

5. go help for usage and... Enjoy!
