Simon South commented on THRIFT-381:
------------------------------------
This is still an issue: If g++ isn't installed, configure will fail silently
with no indication to the user of what the problem is:
{code}
...
checking for uint64_t... no
checking for uint8_t... no
checking for ptrdiff_t... no
[ssouth@laptop thrift]$
{code}
configure should let the user know g++ needs to be installed for it to continue.
> Fail fast if configure detects C++ problems

> We had a guy on the public list who couldn't compile and run a trivial C++
> program on his machine because libstdc++ was messed up. configure should
> detect this and bail out.
