Description

Hi All,

We tried to build Mesos on Windows with VS2019. It failed to build due to error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl os::execvp(char const *,char * const * const)" on Windows using MSVC. It can be reproduced on latest reversion 0a6cf76 on master branch. Could you please take a look at this isssue? Thanks a lot!

 

Reproduce steps:

1. git clone https://github.com/apache/mesos.git F:\apache\mesos

2. Apply the following four patches(patches in attachment)

 

   mesos_c2664_bug837166.patch

   mesos_disable_w4601_libarchive.patch

   mesos_c2668.patch (fix F:\apache\mesos\src\slave\containerizer\mesos\launch.cpp(524,34): error C2668: 'os::spawn': ambiguous call to
overloaded function)

   mesos_c1083.patch (fix error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'csi/state.pb.h' and Cannot open include file: "re2/re2.h".  Reference to  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-10182)

3. Open a VS 2019 x64 command prompt as admin and browse to F:\apache\mesos

4. mkdir build_amd64 && pushd build_amd64

5. cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10.0.18362.0 -DENABLE_LIBEVENT=1 -DHAS_AUTHENTICATION=0 -DPATCHEXE_PATH="F:\tools\gnuwin32\bin" -T host=x64 ..

6. set CL=/D_SILENCE_TR1_NAMESPACE_DEPRECATION_WARNING

7. msbuild /maxcpucount:4 /p:Platform=x64 /p:Configuration=Debug Mesos.sln /t:Rebuild
