Mario Emmenlauer updated THRIFT-4412:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
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?
