Using Thrift in Visual Studio 2008
Hi All,
I want to use Thrift in visual studio 2008 c++ projects. Did someone already
compile Thrift with Visual Studio?
As far I understood from the requirements in Wiki, It is only possible to
compile the projects with Cygwin or MinGW. I use neither of them to compile
my projects.
Any help in this regard is appreciated J

To resolve the clunkiness: On your windows development system set up a
Cygwin environment and build the compiler. Then download the patch in
Jira issue 740 and integrate it into your Visual Studio 2008 development
environment. You can then add .thrift files into the IDE and they will
auto-compile into C# code. You do not have to force everyone to install
Cygwin and build the Thrift compiler; if you put the compiler and a few
DLLs into a well-known place then everybody on your team can use Jira
patch 740 and treat .thrift files natively in the IDE.

Subject: Re: Using Thrift in Visual Studio 2008
I would like to be able to build thrift using VS2008, but because it's
rather hard to do this, I resorted to building the compiler on OSX,
moving the generated C# classes over to windows, and building the
runtime as Rush describes. It works well enough, but it feels a bit
clunky to me.
I'm not a .NET/COM wizard, but I need to make some COM objects that call
Thrift so that--egads!--I can have some ancient vb6 code talk to Thrift
services. I'm about to buy a book on .NET/COM and VS, but I thought I'd
ask this group if anyone has any experience wrapping C# Thrift bindings
into COM objects, or if there's a way to autogenerate various COM
annotations for C# classes.
So far I'm a big fan of Thrift. Our perl clients love it, the server
side java code is clean, and our PHP customers are happy.

There were a number of people who expressed interesst while I was
developing the code, but I haven't heard from anyone but the 2 that I
mentioned.

Re: Using Thrift in Visual Studio 2008
Posted by Vinithra Varadharajan <vi...@cloudera.com>.
I recently built the runtime DLLs and LIBs on Windows with Visual Studio
2008, boost 1.42 and zlib-1.2.4.
I initially tried (very hard) to build them using MinGW, Visual Studio 2010,
and the MsvcPatchSupportScripts attached to Thrift-591 but ran into all
sorts of problems. I finally got it to work by following the instructions in
thrift-818530/msvc/README. I also had to use the --with-pstdint configure
option and am using pstdint.h and defining WITH_PSTDINT_H in apps that use
the Thrift libs. However, I ran into issues building and running some of the
tests, some of which other people online had run into as well.
While we're on the topic, have any of you tried building the contrib/fb303
project on Windows?
Thanks,
Vinithra

I know we've got someone here at Cloudera who has been working on getting
Thrift working on Windows. I'll ping her to see if she has anything to add
here.

We are using the C# runtime, but I have some new features from the C#
runtime that I would like to implement in the C++ runtime; having the
ability to do that all inside the IDE would definitely be nice.
As for your Mac/Win dilemma, you can build the compiler with Cygwin and
produce the thrift executable, with a few Cygwin DLLs, and check that in
for folks... and allow that to be called in a post-build script for your
project containing .thrift files. I am the only one on my team with
Cygwin and the only one currently who builds the thrift generator... but
everyone on the team can use it, and we're on Windows.

I've used it and it works well enough for me. I'm using VS 2005 and Boost 1.42 with STLport 5.1. Given the maturity of asio now, it begs the question why shouldn't asio be used on all c++ platforms.

I would add, if you do update the patch for your purposes, please contribute
it back.

Hi Arun,
That's good to hear. I hope you have good luck with it.
I'm going to post separately about this, but I just attached a zip file to 591 that contains 3 files. You should replace your patched files with these. They fix a couple of bugs that we have discovered while using the code.
Best regards,
Rush

Hi Rush,
Thanks for your reply and directing me to JIRA 591. I downloaded the patched
version, but could not generate proper project files. As you mentioned there
are some issues due to which the configure script did not work for Visual
Studio 2008.
Anyway, I created myself a visual c++ library project with your patched
source code and was able to compile easily. When I have time later, I will
try to understand your configure script and make necessary changes for
VS2008.
Best,
Arun Voruganti

Betreff: Re: Using Thrift in Visual Studio 2008
There is a patch available, but the following caveats apply:
1) It does not build the compiler, just the runtime libs. So you need to
process your IDL on another platform and bring the generated code to the
Windows platform. We develop for Mac and Windows, so we generate the code on
the Mac, check it into our repository, and check it out on Wiindows. It's
painful for our guys who only like to develop on Windows, but they're wrong
to think that way anyway so we (who like to develop on the Mac) win. ;-)
2) It is based on the state of the Thrift code as of Sept. 24, 2009, when I
checked out the head of the SVN repository. I haven't had the time to update
it since then.
3) It was developed using VS 2005. It can be converted, but the last person
who did it ran into a couple of problems that I fixed for him, but I have
never had the time to roll the fixes back into the patch. I'm swamped at
work these days, so don't really have much time to help.
Given all that, if you're still interested, the patch is attached to JIRA
591.

Rush Manbert was working in this area and there may be a patch on the
Jira for ThriftMSVCPatch to allow libthrift to be compiled using VS.
