Hi Rush, Thanks for your reply and directing me to JIRA 591. I downloaded the patched version, but could not generate proper project files. As you mentioned there are some issues due to which the configure script did not work for Visual Studio 2008.
Anyway, I created myself a visual c++ library project with your patched source code and was able to compile easily. When I have time later, I will try to understand your configure script and make necessary changes for VS2008.

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. - Rush On Jun 24, 2010, at 6:35 AM, Michael Walsh wrote: > Rush Manbert was working in this area and there may be a patch on the Jira for ThriftMSVCPatch to allow libthrift to be compiled using VS. > > M > > Sent from my iPhone > > On 24 Jun 2010, at 14:01, "Arun Kumar Raj Voruganti" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> >> >> I want to use Thrift in visual studio 2008 c++ projects.
