> I would like to change the output directory the compiler uses. For example, compiling to Python uses "gen-py" as the output directory and there is currently no option to change that. Suggest adding an option to specify the output directory. This can alleviate some issues when integrating auto-generation into Makefile build infrastructures.
> Suggestions from Michael Greene on thrift-dev@:
> Mike, If you're feeling adventurous, you can change it in your own
> copy--each of the generators supplies its own output directory name.
> For example, see the assignment out_dir_base_ = "gen-py"; in the
> constructor of
> http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift/trunk/compiler/cpp/src/generate/t_py_generator.cc
