Jens Geyer commented on THRIFT-874:
-----------------------------------

Right now found that via Roger's Blog. Great work, but why don't we link that from the Thrift Wiki? I remember that it took me a while to find out how to build Thrift on Windows, even with the Wiki info, but without this stuff here. Could have saved me some hours, if I only had found it earlier.

> 1. Document how to build the Thrift code from source on a stock MinGW+MSYS install on Windows
> 2. Investigate scripting the build as a contrib/ item.
> 3. If #2 is successful, provide a way to generate a .MSI that installs the thrift compiler and runtime libraries.
