Build compiler using CMake
Use the following steps to build using cmake
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
Build on windows
In order to build on windows a few additional steps are necessary
- Download winflexbison from http://sourceforge.net/projects/winflexbison/
- Extract the winflex bison files to for e.g. C:\winflexbison
- Make the CMake variables point to the correct binaries.
- FLEX_EXECUTBALE = C:/winbuild/win_flex.exe
- BISON_EXECUTBALE = C:/winbuild/win_bison.exe
Building the Thrift IDL compiler in Windows
The Visual Studio project contains pre-build commands to generate the thriftl.cc, thrifty.cc and thrifty.hh files which are necessary to build the compiler. These depend on bison, flex and their dependencies to work properly. If this doesn't work on a system, try these manual pre-build steps.
Open compiler.sln and remove the Pre-build commands under the project's Properties -> Build Events -> Pre-Build Events.
Download flex & bison from http://jaisantonyk.wordpress.com/2008/03/16/lex-and-yaccbison-in-windows/ Download bison.simple in addition to bison.exe . This build of bison is easier to use than the one on sourceforge which has a myriad of dependencies. Place these binaries somewhere in the path.
From a command prompt:
cd thrift/compiler/cpp flex -osrc\thriftl.cc src\thriftl.ll In the generated thriftl.cc, comment out #include <unistd.h>
Place a copy of bison.simple in thrift/compiler/cpp
bison -y -o "src/thrifty.cc" --defines src/thrifty.yy move src\thrifty.cc.hh src\thrifty.hh
Bison might generate the yacc header file "thrifty.cc.h" with just one h ".h" extension; in this case you'll have to rename to "thrifty.h".
move src\windows\version.h.in src\windows\version.h
Download inttypes.h from the interwebs and place it in an include path location (e.g. thrift/compiler/cpp/src).
