Jake Farrell commented on THRIFT-1291:
--------------------------------------
these files are auto-generated during the release process so they should always
be current. When I made the last two release I used autoconf 2.65 on centos.
0.6.1 shows a timestamp of '2003-06-18'. Something most likely is wrong with my
version on centos. Switching over to os x with autoconf 2.68 yields a correct
timestamp of '2009-04-17'. Will be using os x for future releases so should not
be an issue moving forward.
> Severely outdated config.sub in 0.7 distribution

> Key: THRIFT-1291
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1291
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build Process, Deployment
> Affects Versions: 0.7
> Reporter: Diwaker Gupta
> Assignee: Jake Farrell
> Attachments: config.sub.0.6, config.sub.0.7
>
>
> The version of config.sub that is distributed with Thrift 0.7 seems to be
> from 2003, whereas the one that shipped with 0.6 is from 2008. This is
> breaking Thrift builds for us on non-standard platforms. For instance:
> {noformat}
> $ bash config.sub.0.6 arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi
> arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi
> $ bash config.sub.0.7 arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi
> Invalid configuration `arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi': machine
> `arm-unknown-linux' not recognized
> {noformat}
> The first few lines of the files are also instructive:
> {noformat}
> $ head -n 7 config.sub.0.6
> #! /bin/sh
> # Configuration validation subroutine script.
