Description

Hi, I installed all of the prerequisites for parquet-cpp under Windows and started working though the cmake process. For the most part, I added some search names to the FindXXX scripts, and that worked okay, but now it appears that I'm stuck. The CompilerInfo.cmake script is trying to differentiate between clang and gcc, but has no options for Windows. I know other Apache projects are cross platform, including Thrift, which I was able to build.

I'm wondering if Windows support is on the short-term roadmap, whether I would be able to potentially contribute some patches, although I'm a CMake newbie, or whether I should just try to create a solution in VS to build it manually.

Here is the error:
