Hi I am looking at using thrift on an opensource project to replace the current WCF/WWSAPI mechanism. However before I invest significant effort into getting it all to compile using tools I have not used before, I'd like to know whether you, the community, think it is possible. Opencover is a .NET codecoverage tool that will need a C++ client (32 and 64 bit) to communicate with a C# server to deliver its results. Will thrift be able to meet my needs? I have downloaded the thrift compiler but there appears to be no other binaries (I assume I will have to build them). Does thrift support compilation on windows and does it support 32 and 64 bit? Is it possible to build thrift without mingw/cygwin? I see a couple of patches that seem to indicate that it may be possible; should I apply them against the svn head or will they work over the tarball I have downloaded? I'd rather not have to download load of utilities and tools unnecessarily only to find what I want to do is not possible. Has anyone done this and are prepared to share the binaries? I am confused as to why the compiler is downloadable (and runs) but nothing else. Any help appreciated. Shaun
