for example, I use the configure parameter as below: xiaoboz...@tencent64:~/tmp/thrift-0.5.0> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/thrift --disable-gen-php --without-python --without-boost --without-perl --disable-gen-java --disable-gen-as3 --disable-gen-csharp --disable-gen-py --disable-gen-rb --disable-gen-perl --disable-gen-php --disable-gen-erl --disable-gen-cocoa --disable-gen-st --disable-gen-ocaml --disable-gen-hs --disable-gen-xsd --disable-gen-javame --with-cpp --without-php-config
and I got the error: configure: error: Cannot find php-config. Please use --with-php-config=PATH configure: error: ./configure failed for lib/php/src/ext/thrift_protocol why php-config is needed while I am not enabling PHP binding? ----- Original Message ----- From: "ZHOU Xiaobo" <xb.z...@qq.com> To: thrift-user@incubator.apache.org Sent: 2010年 10 月 08日, 星期五 下午 12:51:40 GMT +08:00 Beijing / Chongqing / Hong Kong / Urumqi Subject: about building hi: I want to use Thrift as a pack/depack tool, and I only want its c++ library. Meanwhile, I have an old suse box with few software installed, that is, no php-config, no jdk, no ruby, no boost etc. So how can I configure and build Thrift with only c++ binding, and how can I use Thrift as a pack/depack tool like Google ProtoBuf? thanks a lot.
