Cmake build failed with v140_xp, v141_xp toolset flags

[wwriter]

First of all, thank you for providing and maintaining this nice library.
I am posting this to ask if there's some way to build spdlog with _xp toolset flag.

When I use this script to build spdlog

cmake -T v141_xp (or v140_xp) ... (other flags) ..
cmake --build . --config Debug (or Release)

I got this error message.

stdout_sink-inl.h (18) fileapi.h : no such file or directory

So I opened the inl file and found these lines.

#ifdef _WIN32
// under windows using fwrite to non-binary stream results in \r\r\n (see issue #1675)
// so instead we use ::FileWrite
#include <spdlog/details/windows_include.h>
#include <fileapi.h> // WriteFile (..) //< ******this seemed to cause the error*******
#include <io.h>      // _get_osfhandle(..)
#include <stdio.h>   // _fileno(..)
#endif               // WIN32

After doing some tests, I figured out that one cannot include fileapi.h when the version of Windows SDK for the project is set to 7.
Then I changed the code somewhat like this and was able to get the lib file.

#ifdef _WIN32
// ... 
#ifndef _USING_V110_SDK71_
#include <fileapi.h> // WriteFile (..) //< ******this seemed to cause the error*******
#endif
// ...
#endif               // WIN32

My question is, is there any flag or option that I can set to build a lib for Windows xp?

No, WinXP is not supported.

[wwriter]

I thought it might support windows xp because earlier today, I found some questions about crashes on windows xp or whatnot.
Anyway, thanks for your quick response !

@wwriter If you just remove #include fileapi.h it would compile and work just ok.
btw @gabime why windows xp is not supported anyway?

[gabime]

It didn't compile cleanly and I have no time to support it.
Prs are welcome to make it work.
