James E. King, III commented on THRIFT-2571:
--------------------------------------------

On Windows is the only supported environment with cmake supposed to be the compiler, or is it supposed to be the compiler and C++ (and C#)?

> Using CMake would simplify cross compilation.
> The for example the same build script can be used to build:
> - Native for Linux using GCC
> - Native for Windows using Visual Studio
> - Cross compile for ARM on Linux
> - Cross compile for Windows form Linux using mingw32
> It also makes it easy to generate project files for Eclipse or Visual Studio.
> h2. Some examples:
> {code:title=Create an eclipse project|borderStyle=solid}
> mkdir build_ec && cd build_ec
> cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" ../compiler/cpp
> make
> {code} 
> Now open the folder build_ec using eclipse.
> {code:title=Create a Visual Studio project (Windows only)|borderStyle=solid}
> mkdir build_vs && cd build_vs
> cmake -G "Visual Studio 12" ../compiler/cpp
> {code} 
> Now open the folder build_vs using Visual Studio.
> {code:title=Cross compile using mingw32|borderStyle=solid}
> mkdir build_mingw32 && cd build_mingw32
> cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../contrib/mingw32-toolchain.cmake ../compiler/cpp
> make
> {code}
