> Problems building against static libevent
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-1547
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1547
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++ - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.8
> Environment: Thrift trunk on Ubuntu 11.10
> Reporter: Diwaker Gupta
> Priority: Minor
>
> We don't depend on the platform supplied libevent when building Thrift -- we
> point to our own build. Further, we build libevent statically, so there are
> no shared objects to link against.
> Unfortunate, the Thrift configure scripts fail to detect libevent. There are
> two problems. First, when static linking libevent, it complains about missing
> references to clock_gettime etc. This is easily fixed by settings LIBS to
> '-lrt' when running 'configure'. Thrift still fails to detect libevent
> because of the second issue: even with -lrt available, 'configure' is not
> able to compile the levent test program. This is because the GNU linked
> ('ld') is sensitive to the order in which libraries are specified.
> Specifically, libraries that depend on other libraries should appear first
> (see [1], [2]). The following patch fixes the problem:

> Note: this doesn't affect zlib because it doesn't have any dependencies on
> system libraries.
