[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-3604) NuGet release should include compiler, and say 'official'

["James E. King III (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3604?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16736196#comment-16736196 ] 

James E. King III commented on THRIFT-3604:
-------------------------------------------

As a workaround, there is a Windows compiler distributed on https://www.apache.org/dist/thrift/ for each release.  The one for 0.12.0 is statically linked (including the runtime) so it is portable.  I'll assign this to myself to get it into the next NuGet packages.

>          Components: Deployment
>    Affects Versions: 0.9.3

> The current NuGet release includes a library but no compiler. It should include a compiler that matches the library.
> This affects users who wish to use an automated build process based on MsBuild and package restore, and who do not wish to check the compiler into their source tree.
> Side-note: the community version does include a compiler, is older, but has many more downloads. The official version should clearly state that (a) it contains a compiler (b) it is the official version.
