----------------------------------------
Summary: thrift cmake does not use absolute library path, linking
system libraries
Key: THRIFT-4412
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4412
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build Process
Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.11.0, 1.0
Reporter: Mario Emmenlauer
I build thrift using cmake on Linux. It works generally very good on many
platforms (I've tested Linux, Windows and MacOSX extensively). But one issue is
plaguing me. I have my own custom boost libraries, libevent and others. I set
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to their install directory. This generally also works well,
and cmake finds the libraries. However in the final Makefile, the linker
command uses `-lxxx` for library `xxx` instead of the usual cmake absolute path
`/a/b/c/libxxx.so`. This is a problem because `ld` suddenly prefers the system
libraries over my custom builds. This in turn breaks the build for me.
I do not have this problem with any other cmake builds. And I tried various
workarounds to force cmake to use the absolute path, but failed. Did somebody
maybe add this on purpose?
