Hi Xiangdong, Depending on what parts you are using it might be a bit more.
In PLC4X I setup a groovy script which checks if everything is in place https://github.com/apache/plc4x/blob/develop/src/main/script/prerequisiteCheck.groovy But we don't have a dependency on the Thrift executable as this is built as part of our build. https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/develop/tools/thrift The reason for this is that this is the only way we can ensure the Thrift version executed and hereby for which the code is generated also matches the Thrift version used in the dependencies. In contrast to the Java world, in the C world we had a lot of problems with for example old bison versions which are typically installed on Macs If you decided to use thrift and C++ stuff in your project I would strongly suggest to also put similar safeguards in place. But I would suggest to discuss this with the project (On the list), before merging it to master.

I thought that if I have installed CMake and Thrift well, I just need to run something like `g++ -o something.cpp -lthrift` in [1] ... I was too young to naive...
