It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to +build services that work efficiently and seamlessly among C++, Java, Python, +PHP, Ruby, Erlang, Perl, Haskell, C#, Cocoa, Smalltalk, and OCaml. + +Other languages are not included because either they are not included in a +standard installation of Slackware, or because the standard way of installing +Thrift for that language is not via system packages; for example: + - Perl: install from CPAN + - PHP: bundle the Thrift source in your application + - Ruby: install with 'gem' +You will still need the Thrift compiler from this package. + +There are usage examples for more langauges at +http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftUsage + +libevent is an optional dependency; if it is installed, a C++ non-blocking +server library will be built. |
