> Thrift compiler binary distributions
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-5451
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5451
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Build Process
> 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.
