Ben Maurer commented on THRIFT-346:
-----------------------------------
Just FYI, thrift only needs boost headers -- you can install without building.
Also, most distros have a package for boost.
> Can't build compiler without boost
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-346
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-346
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Compiler (C++)
> Affects Versions: 0.1
> Environment: - any -
> Reporter: ryan rawson
>
> To build the thrift compiler, one has to use ./configure to create the
> Makefile - but configure requires boost to be successful.
> The compiler itself doesn't require boost however.
> Building and installing boost is a large dependency - 246MB of source & docs,
> with a specialized build system to boot. A build from source would take a
> long time.
> The compiler should have it's own configure.
