Fix compilation errors on Windows
Summary
Resolves #34 (closed), #75 (closed) and #85 (closed).
Focus
Windows compatibility has been brought to a point where in Release build mode, caosdb.dll, ccaosdb.dll and the test CLI clients build without errors. The clients are also able to start (function was not tested yet). To achieve this a few changes were necessary:
- The
GRPC_GENERATEDsources have to be added to theccaosdblibrary. Just linking is not enough on Windows (see #90 (closed)). This should not and does not seem to have an impact on the Linux build. - The splitting of the GRPC_GENERATED from the main library for the Debug/Test was removed as it does not work on Windows (see #90 (closed)) and does not provide any advantage on Linux.
- Linking to stdc++fs for using has been removed. This was only necessary for gcc<9.1.
- Retrieving the HOME folder on Windows was added in
include/caosdb/utility.h(enabled/disabled via a macro)
Note that there is not yet a pipeline for Windows. Unit tests are anyway not yet functional (see #90 (closed)).
Test Environment
Follow build instructions for Windows.
