I would like to be able to build thrift using VS2008, but because it's
rather hard to do this, I resorted to building the compiler on OSX,
moving the generated C# classes over to windows, and building the
runtime as Rush describes. It works well enough, but it feels a bit
clunky to me.
I'm not a .NET/COM wizard, but I need to make some COM objects that call
Thrift so that--egads!--I can have some ancient vb6 code talk to Thrift
services. I'm about to buy a book on .NET/COM and VS, but I thought I'd
ask this group if anyone has any experience wrapping C# Thrift bindings
into COM objects, or if there's a way to autogenerate various COM
annotations for C# classes.
So far I'm a big fan of Thrift. Our perl clients love it, the server
side java code is clean, and our PHP customers are happy.
cheers,
andrew

Actually, this prompts me to ask the question:
I know of 2 users besides myself. (We are in the process of releasing a product
based on this work) Has anyone else used it or tried it, etc? There were a
number of people who expressed interesst while I was developing the code, but I
haven't heard from anyone but the 2 that I mentioned.

I would add, if you do update the patch for your purposes, please contribute

There is a patch available, but the following caveats apply:
1) It does not build the compiler, just the runtime libs. So you need to
process your IDL on another platform and bring the generated code to the
Windows platform. We develop for Mac and Windows, so we generate the code on
the Mac, check it into our repository, and check it out on Wiindows. It's
painful for our guys who only like to develop on Windows, but they're wrong
to think that way anyway so we (who like to develop on the Mac) win. ;-)
2) It is based on the state of the Thrift code as of Sept. 24, 2009, when I
checked out the head of the SVN repository. I haven't had the time to update
it since then.
3) It was developed using VS 2005. It can be converted, but the last person
who did it ran into a couple of problems that I fixed for him, but I have
never had the time to roll the fixes back into the patch. I'm swamped at
work these days, so don't really have much time to help.
Given all that, if you're still interested, the patch is attached to JIRA
591.

Hi All,
I want to use Thrift in visual studio 2008 c++ projects. Did someone
already
compile Thrift with Visual Studio?
As far I understood from the requirements in Wiki, It is only possible
to
compile the projects with Cygwin or MinGW. I use neither of them to
compile
my projects.
Any help in this regard is appreciated J
