Summary: Thrift compiler binary distributions Key: THRIFT-5451 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5451 Project: Thrift Issue Type: Dependency upgrade Components: Build Process, Compiler (General), Website Environment: Mac OS "Big Sur" which ships with bison 2.3. Reporter: Benjamin Marwell Hi everyone, Windows distributions are available due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-871. It would be great to have a compiler for more platforms, e.g. * Linux x64 * Mac x64 * Mac arm64 * possibly others (Linux s390x, Linux ppc64le, AIX ppc64) Rationale: * I was unable to build it on Mac, because xcode ships with bison 2.3, but Thrift requires bison 2.5. setting YACC=/usr/bin/yacc did not work, configure was still using bison. * the maven plugin could be extended to download binary distributions. The protobuf-maven-plugin and the frontend-maven-plugin do the same things. This is a common scheme for maven plugins, because usually all prerequisites are handled by maven plugins. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
