Yeah, I actually hated that part of your patch. I've got a plan to allow
generators to register the namespaces they use, but that doesn't solve the
problem of compiling out generators or someone publishing a new .thrift file
with (say) namespace as3 and someone else wanting to generate java code for it
with an older version of thrift that doesn't support as3. Maybe we should just
make it a warning instead of an error?
> tests run by "make install" fail if generators are disabled

> Key: THRIFT-857
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-857
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Test Suite
> Affects Versions: 0.4
> Environment: mac os
> Reporter: Bruce Lowekamp
> Priority: Minor
>
> configuring with generators disabled (configure --disable-gen-java, for
> example) produces a failed build because the tests run by "make install"
> require the java, cpp, rb, perl, csharp, and js generators.
> I would personally favor either removing those --disble-gen options
> altogether, or adding a warning message in the configure --help output that
> disabling those generators is not recommended/will cause test failure.
