Sorry to be confusing. People who wants to compile thrift needs automake and autoconf right ?
Cmake generates the makefile so once it is generated no need of it anymore. So when delivering the tarball you only have to deliver an already generated makefile. Another good feature of cmake is the generation of out of source build. We can easily generate the binaries in the directory we want doing thing like : mkdir thrift-build cd thrift-build cmake ../thrift-source make I will try things out with cmake and thrift. I will try to convert it and see all options available to us. -- Pierre-Alexandre St-Jean On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 12:09 AM, David Reiss <dre...@facebook.com> wrote: > > I agree this is a standard, but not much things would change.
