James E. King, III commented on THRIFT-2850: -------------------------------------------- Should we keep this issue open or open a new one? I would like an Epic in the backlog for replacing autoconf with cmake, with the acceptance criteria being that a cmake build can do everything an autoconf build does today. This will take time to get to, and will have many stories. The cmake environment already supports about 5 languages. We need a story for each language (to build the library AND run tests AND packaging) and then we need a story for running make cross (which is what this one appears to be), and we can hang it under the overall epic. Thoughts? > CMake for Apache Thrift > ----------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-2850 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2850 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Build Process > Environment: all platforms > Reporter: Roger Meier > Assignee: Roger Meier > Labels: cmake, travis > Fix For: 1.0 > > Attachments: 0001-THRIFT-2850-CMake-for-Apache-Thrift.patch, > THRIFT-2850_change_name_add_test_py.patch > > > Goal: Extend Apache Thrift's *make cross* approach to the build system. > Due to growing the field of operating system support, a proper executable > and library detection mechanism running on as much platforms as possible > becomes required. The other aspect is simplify the release process and > package generation process. > As nice side benefit of CMake is the generation of development environment > specific solution files(VisualStudio, Eclipse, Xcode, etc. ). => No solution > files within source tree. > We are already building Apache Thrift with CMake for Linux-ARM, Linux-x86, > Windows CE and Windows. > We are in preparation phase for a pull request here: > https://github.com/siemens/thrift/commits/cmake-master -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
