Anthony Molinaro commented on THRIFT-770: ----------------------------------------- If you check out the patch there are 2 changes to test/Makefile.am Before you had libtestgencpp_la_SOURCES = \ which required the sources for this library to be included in the distribution, and since there were several generated files here, it caused the thrift compiler to be run, and you'd get a failure, instead I made it nodist_libtestgencpp_la_SOURCES = which says these SOURCE do not need to be included in the distribution. This for the most part works, but there are 2 source files which are not generated, and thus need to be included in order to 'make check' from a distribution, thus the second change to add ThriftTest_extras.cpp and DebugProtoTest_extras.cpp to EXTRA_DIST. Hopefully that makes sense. > Get 'make dist' to work without first compiling source code > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-770 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-770 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.3 > Reporter: Anthony Molinaro > Assignee: Anthony Molinaro > Fix For: 0.4 > > Attachments: dist.patch, version.h.in > > > On current 0.3.0 tag > (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift/tags/0.3.0/) its impossible > to run > % svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift/tags/0.3.0/ > % ./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make dist > and get a working distribution. > In order to fix this the use of the revision control systems revision must be > dropped, and instead the version must solely exist in the configure.ac. This > seems like a reasonable thing, as the version in trunk is kept at the next > release anyway. The version.h file is then created via configure. > The attached patch can be applied against the tag above (although THRIFT-650 > is required for make check to work), as well as trunk. > You also should svn remove print_version.sh and add the attached version.h.in > into compiler/cpp. > I've tested like > % svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift/tags/0.3.0/ > % patch -p0 < ~/dist.patch > % patch -p0 < ~/check.patch # THRIFT-650 patch > % cp ~/version.h.in compiler/cpp > % rm print_version.sh > % ./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make dist > % tar xvfz thrift-0.3.0.tar.gz > % cd thrift-0.3.0 > % ./configure && make && make check > For testing against trunk it's the same thing without the THRIFT-650 patch > (as that's been recently applied, thanks Bryan!). > My test machine is a Centos 5 vmware instance, so slightly older autoconf.
