I'm trying to use thrift with c++11, and I noticed some issues with that. For some of these I have patches against the 0.9.1 release. We use gcc 4.8.1 in a partially sandboxed system (compiler and most of the libs are installed in a sandbox). I ran into a couple of problems:
* The code does not build out of the source tree: Making all in py make[3]: Entering directory `/home/immanuel/workspace/code/volumedriver-buildtools/src/debug/thrift/build/lib/py' /usr/bin/python setup.py build /usr/bin/python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory * Tutorial does not compile because the shared_ptr there is not prefixed with the boost:: namespace. I have a small patch for this. *Test does not compile because of the same confusion between boost and std (a lot of the boost stuff got moved to std) ZlibTest.cpp:72:17: error: reference to 'lognormal_distribution' is ambiguous gen_(rng, lognormal_distribution<double>(mean, std_dev)) {} * Warnings in the code because it confuses the "PRI" macros with the user defined literals in C++11. I have a small patch for this, it's enough to leave add a space before those macros. * I tried the --with-sysroot=${PREFIX}, where prefix is the dir in which our sandbox is installed and that generates a faulty .la file with the following entry (wrong = sign in that line) >> # Libraries that this one depends upon. dependency_libs=' -L=/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lrt -lpthread =/home/immanuel/workspace/buildtools/debug/3.0/lib/../lib64/libstdc++.la' >> That --with-sysroot doesn't seem to do much since it still finds openssl in under /usr/lib * disabling openssl doesn't seem to work (--without--openssl) >> checking openssl/ssl.h usability... yes checking openssl/ssl.h presence... yes checking for openssl/ssl.h... yes checking openssl/rand.h usability... yes checking openssl/rand.h presence... yes checking for openssl/rand.h... yes checking openssl/x509v3.h usability... yes checking openssl/x509v3.h presence... yes checking for openssl/x509v3.h... yes >> The tutorial then seems to run fine. Are you willing to accept patches for these? What would you prefer them against? Is there a plan to move towards better support for c++11?
