Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-770:
--------------------------------------
How about we open a new issue to "modernize" the compiler versioning based on
source control? I don't really want to take steps back.
> Get 'make dist' to work without first compiling source code

> Key: THRIFT-770
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-770
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.3
> Reporter: Anthony Molinaro
> Assignee: Anthony Molinaro
> Fix For: 0.4
>
> Attachments: dist.patch, version.h.in
>
>
> On current 0.3.0 tag
> (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift/tags/0.3.0/) its impossible
> to run
> % svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift/tags/0.3.0/
> % ./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make dist
> and get a working distribution.
> In order to fix this the use of the revision control systems revision must be
> dropped, and instead the version must solely exist in the configure.ac. This
> seems like a reasonable thing, as the version in trunk is kept at the next
> release anyway. The version.h file is then created via configure.
> The attached patch can be applied against the tag above (although THRIFT-650
> is required for make check to work), as well as trunk.
> You also should svn remove print_version.sh and add the attached version.h.in
> into compiler/cpp.
> I've tested like
> % svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift/tags/0.3.0/
> % patch -p0 < ~/dist.patch
> % patch -p0 < ~/check.patch # THRIFT-650 patch
> % cp ~/version.h.in compiler/cpp
> % rm print_version.sh
> % ./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make dist
> % tar xvfz thrift-0.3.0.tar.gz
> % cd thrift-0.3.0
> % ./configure && make && make check
> For testing against trunk it's the same thing without the THRIFT-650 patch
> (as that's been recently applied, thanks Bryan!).
> My test machine is a Centos 5 vmware instance, so slightly older autoconf. I
> would also test on my Mac, but somehow gcc didn't make it past the user
> migration, so I need to wait until I get the xcode disk at my office tomorrow.
