Description

Based on the current git master branch.

The project's t_generator.h want to use the header file version.h:

#include "thrift/version.h"

The file does not exist but version.h.in is there and looks to be expected by the CMake build's CMakeLists.txt:

configure_file(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/thrift/version.h.in ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/thrift/version.h)

As a workaround I just copied version.h.in to version.h.

It would be nice to fix this.
