Here is my advancement on making thrift compile with cmake instead of autotools.
I managed to compile the compiler with the flex and bison dependencies and the cpp generator plugged in (would not be hard to plug others). What you fear happens tough. -There is no more configure script. -Cmake must be there (to create the makefiles). -The switch to enable or disable a compiler option is ackward ( cmake -DWITH_CPP=NO) the -D is obligatory or i would have replaced it with -WITH_CPP. What is good tough is that i learned a lot about thrift doing this part of the conversion. This is what got out of this. Do you want me to send a patch to see what happened ? -- Pierre-Alexandre St-Jean
