["Roger Meier (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-874?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12903939#action_12903939 ] 

Roger Meier commented on THRIFT-874:
------------------------------------

Great!

Work's fine for Windows XP, built with mingw on Debian Lenny!

it probably makes sense to strip the binary within the _contrib/mingw-cross-compile.sh_ script by doing a
{code}
i586-mingw32msvc-strip compiler/cpp/thrift.exe
{code}
bevore make it available as download.

> 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.
