autotools doesn't barf (but fails) when some components are missing
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-915
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-915
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.5
Environment: Debian unstable, as of 2010/09/22
Reporter: Christian Lavoie
Fix For: 0.5
When some fundamental components are missing (flex, yacc, pkg-config,
partial-boosts install...), thrift's configure.ac dies in non-obvious ways. In
some cases it aborts with a MONO-related error (it complains about parsing
errors near the 'MONO' token) or sometimes just halts halfway through the
configure tests (it'll stop before running config.status and after checking for
the slew of c functions.
