Converting to cmake from autotools
----------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-797
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-797
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Test
Environment: cmake
Reporter: Pierre-Alexandre St-Jean
Replace automake by cmake
This patch only has parts done ie: the compiler and cpp compiler part.
This would affect all the project and is only a test. The advantages of cmake
is that is is available easily on all platforms and generates makefiles for
lots of systems. The only disavantage is that cmake would be a requirement even
for non developers would want to build thrift. Also thrift would ease for the
port on windows.
Alternatives would be scons and waf. I am currently doing a test with waf build
system too (advantage of waf is that it is standalone and can be packaged with
the app)
