[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-2850) CMake for Apache Thrift

["James E. King, III (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2850?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15831920#comment-15831920 ] 

James E. King, III commented on THRIFT-2850:
--------------------------------------------

Should we keep this issue open or open a new one?

I would like an Epic in the backlog for replacing autoconf with cmake, with the acceptance criteria being that a cmake build can do everything an autoconf build does today.  This will take time to get to, and will have many stories.  The cmake environment already supports about 5 languages.  We need a story for each language (to build the library AND run tests AND packaging) and then we need a story for running make cross (which is what this one appears to be), and we can hang it under the overall epic.

Thoughts?

> Goal: Extend Apache Thrift's *make cross* approach to the build system.
> Due to growing the field of operating system support, a proper executable
> and library detection mechanism running on as much platforms as possible
> becomes required. The other aspect is simplify the release process and
> package generation process.
> As nice side benefit of CMake is the generation of development environment
> specific solution files(VisualStudio, Eclipse, Xcode, etc. ). => No solution files within source tree.
> We are already building Apache Thrift with CMake for Linux-ARM, Linux-x86, Windows CE and Windows.
> We are in preparation phase for a pull request here:
> https://github.com/siemens/thrift/commits/cmake-master
