Pascal Bach commented on THRIFT-2571:
-------------------------------------
The C++ library depends on boost. If boost is not found on your system it will
disable the C++ library.
So installing boost headers on your machine would allow you to build the C++
library.
I think in the future we should add some more information to the output that
tells why a library is not built.
> Simplify cross compilation using CMake

> Key: THRIFT-2571
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2571
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Pascal Bach
> Assignee: Henrique Mendonça
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.9.2
>
>
> Using CMake would simplify cross compilation.
> The for example the same build script can be used to build:
> - Native for Linux using GCC
> - Native for Windows using Visual Studio
> - Cross compile for ARM on Linux
> - Cross compile for Windows form Linux using mingw32
> It also makes it easy to generate project files for Eclipse or Visual Studio.
> h2. Some examples:
> {code:title=Create an eclipse project|borderStyle=solid}
> mkdir build_ec && cd build_ec
> cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" ../compiler/cpp
> make
> {code}
> Now open the folder build_ec using eclipse.
> {code:title=Create a Visual Studio project (Windows only)|borderStyle=solid}
> mkdir build_vs && cd build_vs
> cmake -G "Visual Studio 12" ../compiler/cpp
> {code}
> Now open the folder build_vs using Visual Studio.
> {code:title=Cross compile using mingw32|borderStyle=solid}
> mkdir build_mingw32 && cd build_mingw32
> cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../contrib/mingw32-toolchain.cmake
> ../compiler/cpp
> make
> {code}
