Andrew Gaul created THRIFT-1817:
-----------------------------------
Summary: make install should install versioned binary and symlink
to thrift binary
Key: THRIFT-1817
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1817
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Compiler (General)
Affects Versions: 0.9
Reporter: Andrew Gaul
This allows users install multiple versions of Thrift. In my use case, I have
a program where older branches use Thrift 0.8 while master uses 0.9. Versioned
binaries mimics the behavior of GCC:
{noformat}
$ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 13 2012 /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-4.6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 353216 Apr 15 2012 /usr/bin/gcc-4.6
