Yuxuan Wang commented on THRIFT-5451:
-------------------------------------
Another option is to build a docker image to run the compiler, as nowadays
docker is on most platforms.
We built [https://github.com/reddit/thrift-compiler] which can be used as a
drop-in replacement to the thrift binary (with the caveat that it cannot access
directories outside of the current directory):
{code:java}
#!/bin/sh
# thrift-docker.sh
DEFAULT_DOCKER_TAG="0.14.2"
DOCKER_TAG=${THRIFT_VERSION:-${DEFAULT_DOCKER_TAG}}
DOCKER_REPO=ghcr.io/reddit/thrift-compiler
docker run -v ${PWD}:/data/ --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)"
${DOCKER_REPO}:${DOCKER_TAG} "$@"
{code}
I'm not saying thrift project should provide this officially (that's up to
debate), but for any company/organization need to distribute the binary this
could be an option.

> 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: Minor
>
> 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.
