Mario Emmenlauer commented on THRIFT-5451:
------------------------------------------
I agree that this would be nice to have. But deployment on Unix is not as
straightforward as it is on Windows, due to all sorts of system library
dependencies. Its certainly not impossible but it has a reasonable effort, so
unless someone volunteers (you, maybe?) to do this, its probably not going to
happen any time soon.
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
