Peace C commented on THRIFT-1476: --------------------------------- A 10.5 Intel system is able to build for ppc architecture. A closer inspection of config.log revealed that boost was not installed on the particular system, causing it to skip the C++ libs. It appears that the Thrift build scripts create a test binary and tries to execute it during the build. 10.5 ships with Rosetta so it can run ppc binaries. However even though a 10.6+ system can build ppc with the right version of Xcode, the build fails on an Intel system because it can't execute the ppc binary. Please consider removing the execution step of the binary if it does not match the current architecture. > Build universal library binaries on Mac OSX > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-1476 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1476 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: C++ - Library > Affects Versions: 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 > Environment: Mac OS X > Reporter: Peace C > Assignee: Jake Farrell > Priority: Minor > Labels: build, mac, osx, thrift, universal, universal_binary > Fix For: 0.9 > > > I would like to request a build option to create universal binaries on Mac > OSX. The resulting library would support i386, x86_64 and ppc platforms. > For reference, Jake F. posted a work-around to target different platforms - > > The thrift build is not setup to create a universal binary currently. if > > you would like to create a ticket for this we can take a look at making > > this a global configure option. To set the arch you can pass > > CPPFLAGS='-arch i386' to configure. > [edit: additionally pass LDFLAGS and CXXFLAGS with the same architecture] > > You should be able to use this for each arch you want to create and then > > use lipo to combine them into a universal binary. > > > > -Jake -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
