Scott Banachowski commented on AVRO-700:
----------------------------------------
Regarding the use of flex and bison, since these generate C files, we could
probably just check in the generated files... then on platforms without
flex/bison, they can build without needing to regenerate them. Only people who
need to modify the lexer code need to run flex/bison.
The python script is a code generator to build the serialization code from a
schema, and it's not strictly needed to build the library. It's used in unit
tests since the output code exercises a lot of the functionality.

> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: c++
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: Thiruvalluvan M. G.
> Assignee: Thiruvalluvan M. G.
> Fix For: 1.5.0

>
> If we move from the current automake to CMake, build becomes portable across
> multiple platforms. Prior to this patch, Avro C++ was building on Cygwin but
> was crashing. I've tested this on Ubuntu 10.04 and Cygwin.
> There are problems making it work with Visual Studio 2008 Express, not
> because of CMake, but because the current build procedure needs Flex, Bison
> and python. Visual Studio seems to have trouble with these three.
