Mario Emmenlauer commented on THRIFT-5451:
------------------------------------------
{quote}This can easily be solved by static binaries. But tbh, I don't know all
the dependencies of thrift.
Maybe distribution via sdkman would be another viable option.

I did not mean to say that its hard to solve this. What I did mean to say is
that its reasonable effort. There are quite many options for deployment on
unix, from native system packages over `snap` and similar to static linkage and
all the way to containers. But none of them come with little effort. In
basically all cases someone will need to decide on a good set of distribution
ways, set them up in the Thrift CI, and ensure the packages are uploaded to
some server (like github).
I don't want to speak for anybody else, but judging from experience, I do not
think that someone currently volunteers to do that.
Therefore, if you consider it a MAJOR issue for Thrift, do you want to provide
a PR?
> 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.
