Makes simple thrift skeleton server based on a template. For instance if you have a file foo.thrift with the following contents service Foo { void bar (1: i32 baz) } Then run % git clone git://github.com/djnym/thrift_erl_skel.git % thrift_erl_skel/make_new_thrift.pl foo foo.thrift 9999 % cd foo % edit src/foo_service.erl add bar/1 to export add the following at the end of the file bar (I) -> io:format ("bar (~p)~n",[I]). % rebar compile % ./start_foo.sh Creating a client to talk to the server is left as an exercise for the reader.
