A Basic Question - Mac OSX & Windows
Hi All,I have a basic question.
I need to run the thrift on Mac OSX and Windows. So do I need to generate our code (using our thrift IDLs) on both the platforms (using respective thrift compilers) separately OR the code generated on Mac OSX can be compiled and linked on Windows as well (using some cygwin kind of stuff) ?
What is the recommendation and suggestion?
thanks,
--dheeraj

Hi Dheeraj,
Ah, I see now. I'm sorry, there are things that I have forgotten about since we haven't touched our Thrift installation in about 15 months.
If you want to use the latest and greatest Thrift release on Windows, you probably do need to use some Cygwin magic to make it work, even in your code because of the includes that you mention. What we use here is an old (pre-0.1) version of Thrift that we have patched with my 591 patch (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-591). That builds Thrift with Visual Studio and gets rid of all the Unix-specific stuff. There has been some work done to make that compatible with the 0.4 release of Thrift, but I understand that it is incomplete.
I don't know what your other options are for using Thrift with a C++ app running on Windows. There is a C# port, but I don't know anything about it or interoperability, etc.
I'm sorry I don't have anything better to offer you.

Hi Rush,Let me be more clearer.
The generated code say abc_types.h includes <Thrift.h> and this Thrift.h includes the <netinet/in.h> which is where it is complaining about. Is there any other way to include the Windows version of Thrift.h to keep the Windows compiler happy...
thanks,

We are talking about the source code generated by the Thrift compiler here, aren't we? If not, then I answered the wrong question.
If so, then I will qualify my answer by saying that I run an older version of Thrift. But I would be surprised if the generated code now includes Unix-specific header files. If that has happened, then you probably need to look into having a separate compiler on each platform.
Does this answer make sense?

Thanks Rush. but how do you deal with errors like Unixish code like netinet/in.h is complaining. Also we use pthread in MacOSX, how they will be translated etc?
We have Visual Studio project for WIndows.
If you can provide little bit more detail that will be helpful.
thanks,

You can go either way, but you can certainly generate the code on one platform and use it on the other. We have exactly the same situation. All of our Thrift code is generated on the Mac and we check it into our SVN repository from there. The Windows side just uses the generated source.
