[zeromq-dev] libzmq\builds\msvc\msvc.sln is missing

[Pieter Hintjens]

I've just tried CMake and it appears to work up to a point. That is:

- you need to install it
- you need to create a directory to build in
- you need to run it (that takes some time, it goes through a whole
load of "is this linux? no? wow" checks...
- you then get a ZeroMQ.sln that you can pass to MSVC

Whereas the master already contains a libzmq.sln that you can pass to MSVC.

So while CMake surely works, I don't see the benefit of using it, you
have a lot of extra steps to get the same results.

Also it does not work for CZMQ and other libraries, and does not
AFAICs work with libsodium.

So I'd not recommend it.
