Hi
André Fiedler
I got the same problem like you.
I use mac port to install autoconf,and can't install thrift as autoconf issue.
There are two autoconf programs in my mac.The one is system already has, and
the other one is mac port install.they are in diffrent location.
When I run 'autoconf --version' ,it says autoconf version is 2.68, which is mac
port install.
Then I run 'whereis autoconf' , it says the autoconf location is
'/usr/bin/autoconf' , not the location mac port install .And I run
'/usr/bin/autoconf --version',it says autoconf version is 2.61.Maybe thrift use
the '/usr/bin/autoconf' , not the one mac port install,and it's cause the
problem.
so I abandon the mac port , download source code from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/ and compile it,As I neither know how to let
system use '/opt/local/bin/autoconf' instead of '/usr/bin/autoconf' though I
set the PATH var, nor know how to usr mac port install autoconf to location
'/usr/bin/autoconf '.Then it's ok.
here is compile autoconf command.
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/ #not /usr/bin/
sudo make && make install
I wish it helps.
> Have bootstrap.sh check for a suitable autoconf version before running

> Running bootstrap.sh invokes autoconf. Building thrift requires a minimum
> autoconf of 2.65 to avoid various bugs in earlier versions. Currently,
> autoconf just succeeds silently, but then the build fails, which can be
> confusing to users. This improvement will have bootstrap.sh check for it
> before running.
