> Hi everyone,
> Windows distributions are available due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-871.
> It would be great to have a compiler for more platforms, e.g.
>  * Linux x64
>  * Mac x64
>  * Mac arm64
>  * possibly others (Linux s390x, Linux ppc64le, AIX ppc64)
> Rationale:
>  * I was unable to build it on Mac, because xcode ships with bison 2.3, but Thrift requires bison 2.5. setting YACC=/usr/bin/yacc did not work, configure was still using bison.
>  * the maven plugin could be extended to download binary distributions. The protobuf-maven-plugin and the frontend-maven-plugin do the same things. This is a common scheme for maven plugins, because usually all prerequisites are handled by maven plugins.
