We are using the C# runtime, but I have some new features from the C# runtime that I would like to implement in the C++ runtime; having the ability to do that all inside the IDE would definitely be nice.
As for your Mac/Win dilemma, you can build the compiler with Cygwin and produce the thrift executable, with a few Cygwin DLLs, and check that in for folks... and allow that to be called in a post-build script for your project containing .thrift files. I am the only one on my team with Cygwin and the only one currently who builds the thrift generator... but everyone on the team can use it, and we're on Windows. - Jim -----Original Message----- From: Rush Manbert [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2010 12:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Using Thrift in Visual Studio 2008 Actually, this prompts me to ask the question: I know of 2 users besides myself. (We are in the process of releasing a product based on this work) Has anyone else used it or tried it, etc? There were a number of people who expressed interesst while I was developing the code, but I haven't heard from anyone but the 2 that I mentioned. - Rush On Jun 24, 2010, at 9:09 AM, Bryan Duxbury wrote: > I would add, if you do update the patch for your purposes, please contribute > it back. > > On Thu, Jun 24, 2010 at 8:40 AM, Rush Manbert <[email protected]> wrote: > >> There is a patch available, but the following caveats apply: >> >> 1) It does not build the compiler, just the runtime libs.
