About project configuration

[AiXanadu]

When will we support MSVC compiler?
At this stage, some configurations are not very friendly to MSVC.
Will it support static compilation and linking and DllMan multiple definition issues?
If possible, could you please support CMake configuration?

To support msvc, need someone port this code.

libplist/src/bplist.c

Lines 90 to 96 in 3daee60

	})

Currently, we can use clang-cl + ms stl to build this library, and pass -Iinclude & plist.lib in my msvc project.
But I use xmake as build system, hope can give you some hint.

option("version", {default = "2.6.0"})

add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")

if not is_plat("windows", "mingw", "msys") then
    add_defines("HAVE_STRNDUP")
end

local version = get_config("version")
if version then
    set_version(version, {soname = true})
    add_defines("PACKAGE_VERSION=\"" .. version .. "\"")
end

target("plist")
    set_kind("$(kind)")
    add_files("libcnary/*.c|cnary.c", "src/*.c")
    add_includedirs("src", "include", "libcnary/include")
    add_headerfiles("include/(plist/*.h)")

    if is_kind("static") then
        add_defines("LIBPLIST_STATIC")
    end

Build

$ xmake f -c --toolchain=clang-cl
$ xmake
