java - Thrift compiler - generate different languages to different output paths -

thrift compiler allows specifying output directory generated files.

i writing java client , c# server, , have generated files -gen java , -gen csharp located in different directories of project.

is possible?

1. default

... files generated 1 folder per language, following pattern gen-<lang>.

thrift -gen java -gen csharp myfile.thrift 

in case gen-csharp , gen-java. if not meet requirements, try

2. explicit out-path

by means of -out parameter can tell thrift generate code in folder want. caveat these target folders must created beforehand. other default folders these not created automatically.

mkdir my/cool/javadir  mkdir my/cool/csdir    thrift -gen java   -out my/cool/javadir myfile.thrift thrift -gen csharp -out my/cool/csdir   myfile.thrift
