How to port Apache Thrift to HoloLens
Hello HoloLens Experts,
I am trying to port Apache Thrift (https://github.com/apache/thrift) to the HoloLens. I got it running inside Unity 3D but if I try to build and deploy the package to the HoloLens I am getting a bunch of errors as some of the used Classes are not available for the HoloLens runtime environment.
I could exclude all the pieces of code inside the Thrift library which cause errors with "_#if UNITY_EDITOR ... _" by hand but it would consume a lot of time as there are so many lines of code affected.
Here is some sample error log:
Assets\Backend\Thrift\src\Transport\THttpClient.cs(28,36): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'X509Certificates' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Security.Cryptography' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Assets\Backend\Thrift\src\Transport\TTLSSocket.cs(268,94): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'X509Chain' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Assets\Backend\Thrift\src\Transport\TTLSSocket.cs(56,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'SslStream' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I had similar Issues with MQTT https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.m2mqtt, but had been able to build a WinRT.dll from source that works for HoloLens.
What's the best way to port Thrift to the Hololens?
Thanks for any help!
