I've seen a similar issue where the boost path was wrong, or boost wasn't installed.
That doesn't seem to show up in your error log, but it may be a similar issue where a library dependency is causing the --with-cpp to be ignored. I'd double-check just to be sure here, not sure what to recommend beyond that other than digging through the log. Do you have the command-line output of running configure available? config.log looks a bit noisier, might be easier to compare the two with a plain old stdout trace. -----Original Message----- From: Toomas Aas [mailto:toomas....@raad.tartu.ee] Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 1:50 PM To: Toomas Aas Cc: user@thrift.apache.org Subject: Re: Version 0.6.0 on FreeBSD doesn't build the shared.library Help, please... I've been stuck on this for a week. Trying to compile Thrift 0.6.0 on FreeBSD 8.1, and ./configure refuses to build the C++ library even if specifically told to do so with the --with-cpp switch. I also tried with the freshly-released 0.6.1, but the result is the same - configure script decides not to build the C++ library. From the JIRA pages I see that at least some people have managed to build Thrift on FreeBSD not too long ago, so it must be possible. I tried to compare the config.log output of (successful) 0.4.0 build with the unsuccessful 0.6.x build, but both logs contain a lot of errors and it's really hard to tell which of them are significant. My latest config.log output is here: ftp://ftp.raad.tartu.ee/pub/it/toomas/config.log -- Toomas Aas
