Christian Lavoie commented on THRIFT-915:
-----------------------------------------
David, you're right this is an svn checkout. Revision 1000647 -- as of a few
hours ago.
I'll try with 0.4 and report again, in the meantime, I'm not sure why
AC_PROG_LEX and AC_PROG_YACC haven't properly caught the lack of flex/bison.
It'd be worthwhile to test for pkg-config too.
> autotools doesn't barf (but fails) when some components are missing

> 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.
