Will Ayd commented on THRIFT-5894:
----------------------------------
OK after looking more closely I believe the conda piece is a red herring and
this applies to Windows in general. Looking at the CMake macro for adding a
thrift library, it intentionally suffixes the library name:
[https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/37c7910072de4bf282f95f7c64f91155d6f2ce7e/build/cmake/ThriftMacros.cmake#L30]
However, the corresponding pkg-config template does not take this into account:
[https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/37c7910072de4bf282f95f7c64f91155d6f2ce7e/lib/cpp/thrift.pc.in#L28]
My Windows knowledge is admittedly not the best, but do you know why there is a
need to add the suffix there? It could certainly be my ignorance, but I haven't
run into that with other libraries before

> Key: THRIFT-5894
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5894
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++ - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.22.0
> Reporter: Will Ayd
> Priority: Major
>
> When installing Thrift via conda on windows, the pkgconfig files provide
> lines like:
> ```
> Libs: -L${libdir} -lthrift
> ```
> However, the library that gets distributed actually has the name
> thriftmd.lib, so when using this to compile a program you get an error that
> the library `thrift.lib` cannot be found during linkage (the issue also
> applies to thrift-nb and thrif-z)
