[jira] Created: (THRIFT-797) Converting to cmake from autotools

Converting to cmake from autotools
----------------------------------

                 Key: THRIFT-797
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-797
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Test
         Environment: cmake
            Reporter: Pierre-Alexandre St-Jean


Replace automake by cmake

This patch only has parts done ie: the compiler and cpp compiler part.

This would affect all the project and is only a test. The advantages of cmake is that is is available easily on all platforms and generates makefiles for lots of systems. The only disavantage is that cmake would be a requirement even for non developers would want to build thrift. Also thrift would ease for the port on windows.

Alternatives would be scons and waf. I am currently doing a test with waf build system too (advantage of waf is that it is standalone and can be packaged with the app)
