Yeah, I never used couchbase-lite-core on Windows, so CI is not tested this platform.

I suppose it require some modification of build.rs script to find libraries and so on things on Windows.

But your current problem is "Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 will be removed from a future version of",
you use newer cmake, while couchbase-lite-core requires old cmake. You need downgrade cmake or modify source code of couchbase-lite-core, and then set COUCHBASE_LITE_CORE_BUILD_DIR and COUCHBASE_LITE_CORE_SRC_DIR to point to modified variant of couchbase-lite-core.

yeah, I think so.
I'll roll back CMake and give it a try.

Currently, I'm manually compiling LiteCoreStatic, FleeceStatic, BLIPStatic and so on, but I get a panic: error Unimplemented GetLocalTZOffset on line 560 of couchbase-lite-rust/couchbase-lite-core/vendor/fleece/Fleece/Support/ParseDate.cc .I'm not sure if this is just because I'm new to CMake. I'm a complete newbie.

do you have any plans to modify this for Windows platforms? By the way.

[Dushistov]

I've never seen this kind of error. So have no idea what is going wrong.
To fix cmake error you need just change begin of cmake file like this:

-cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)
+cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5.1 FATAL_ERROR)

do you have any plans to modify this for Windows platforms?

Yeah, I specifically set up a Windows VM for this. But my last attempt to build couchbase-lite-core ended with a bug in Microsoft's C++ compiler. And I postponed my attempt until either the compiler is fixed or a workaround for this error is added to couchbase-lite-core. Since then, the work around was added, but I still haven't tried to build couchbase-lite-core on Windows again.

Yesterday I successfully compiled chat-demo and ran it successfully.
First of all, I used cmake version 3.25.3.
This png is the compilation result.

Many libraries are missing in build.rs, including zlib, etc.

[Dushistov]

Many libraries are missing in build.rs, including zlib, etc.

This is expected, compare linux case in build.rs

couchbase-lite-rust/couchbase-lite-core-sys/build.rs

Line 67 in 407b8cc

if target_os == "linux" {

   println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=icuuc");
   println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=icui18n");
   println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=icudata");
   println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=z");
   println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=stdc++");

and windows/msvc:

couchbase-lite-rust/couchbase-lite-core-sys/build.rs

Line 86 in 407b8cc

} else if is_msvc {

    println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=ws2_32");

I need at least one time build and link coubchbase-lite on Windows, to find out what the right list of libraries for MSVC case.
