Missing hash_linux.h header

[sameershende]

Hi,
We are missing the has_linux.h header. Would you please check it in. It doesn't compile under Linux without this header.

https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-cpp/tree/master/Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage/includes/wascore

The code that uses this is in:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-cpp/blob/master/Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage/includes/wascore/streams.h

include "wascore/basic_types.h"

include "streambuf.h"

ifdef WIN32

include "hash_windows.h"

else

include "hash_linux.h"

endif

Thanks!

Thank you for your feedback. Compiling the library under Linux is not currently a supported scenario. It will be added in a future release. We will update this thread once support is added.

@sameershende, version 0.4.0 is released last December which supports Linux officially, please take a try.

@slepox I specifically noted that the release notes mention that it "supports building on Linux". Can you confirm that you indeed /mean/ that the library itself (i.e. using it) is officially supported on Linux?

[slepox]

Yes, it is officially supported.

@slepox That's great news!

I feel that Microsoft could improve the communication about these awesome C++ libraries a bit.

Is there an official channel to subscribe to? Does Microsoft get the word out somewhere I didn't find yet?

For one, I would never have known about the Linux support except because I had actively subscribed to issue #12 /and/ I spotted the github merge notification.

Next, I have advertised this very welcome news via Twitter (where very few people appeared to be aware of the project/release), staying very true to the release notes:

Woot! #Microsoft @Azure Storage Client #cpp library now supports building [note the wording!] on @Linux - That's big #14

Turns out I would not have had to be nearly as cautious with that wording.
