Thrift requires Haxe 3.1.3. Installers for Windows and OSX
platforms are available at http://haxe.org/download
.
Depending on the desired targets, you may have to install the appropriate HaxeLibs after installing Haxe itself. For example, if you plan to target C#, Java and C++, enter the following commands after installing Haxe:
haxelib install hxcpp haxelib install hxjava haxelib install hxcs
For other targets, please consult the Haxe documentation whether or not any additional target libraries need to be installed and how to achieve this.
For Linux platforms it is recommended to use the distro-specific package manager, where possible. More detailed information can be found at the Haxe Linux download section: http://haxe.org/download/linux
If you run into the error message
Uncaught exception - load.c(237) : Failed to load library : /usr/lib/neko/regexp.ndll (libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
this can be solved depending on your OSes bitness by either
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libpcre.so.1 /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3 sudo ldconfig
or
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.1 /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.3 sudo ldconfig
Thrift Haxe bindings can be set up via the haxelib
tool
either from the official ASF repo, or via the github mirror.
To set up any stable version, choose the appropriate branch (e.g. 0.12.0
):
haxelib git thrift https://github.com/apache/thrift.git 0.12.0 lib/haxe
To set up the current development version, use the master
branch:
haxelib git thrift https://github.com/apache/thrift.git master lib/haxe
As usual, the installed library can be updated using haxelib upgrade
or haxelib update thrift
.
In order to work with Thrift, you will need to install the Thrift compiler or build from source, depending on your operating system. Appropriate downloads and more information can be found at http://thrift.apache.org
To get started, visit the /tutorial/haxe and /test/haxe dirs for examples. If you are using HIDE or the FlashDevelop IDE, you'll find appropriate project files in these folders.
Although designed with maximum portability in mind, for technical reasons some platforms may only support parts of the library, or not be compatible at all.
Javascript: - tutorial fails to build because of unsupported Sys.args
you have to import PHP files generated by haxe into PHP
php
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/bin/php-web-server/Main-debug.php';
trace() by default outputs into stdout (http response), so you have to redirect it to stderr or you own logs, something like
haxe
//remap trace to error log
haxe.Log.trace = function(v:Dynamic, ?infos:haxe.PosInfos)
{
//simulate normal trace https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/blob/development/std/haxe/Log.hx
var newValue : Dynamic;
if (infos != null && infos.customParams!=null) {
var extra:String = "";
for( v in infos.customParams )
extra += "," + v;
newValue = v + extra;
}
else {
newValue = v;
}
var msg = infos != null ? infos.fileName + ':' + infos.lineNumber + ': ' : '';
Sys.stderr().writeString('${msg}${newValue}\n');
}
to allow thrift server to read/write HTTP request/response, it should be pointed out to php streams
haxe
transport = new TWrappingServerTransport(
new TStreamTransport(
new TFileStream("php://input", Read),
new TFileStream("php://output", Append)
)
);
TSimpleServer doesn't stop after first call, so processor.process() should be called instead, or use runOnce property
haxe
var server = new TSimpleServer( processor, transport, transfactory, protfactory);
server.runOnce = true;
