1. Code download

It can be downloaded directly from the Internet, http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/thrift/0.10.0/thrift-0.10.0.tar.gz

You can also use git to download git clone from github https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/thrift.git

2. Environmental preparation:

The linux of the server is centos6.7, so only centos6 is listed here.

Building Apache Thrift on CentOS 6.5

Starting with a minimal installation, the following steps are required to build Apache Thrift on Centos 6.5. This example builds from source, using the current development master branch. These instructions should also work with Apache Thrift releases beginning with 0.9.2.

Update the System

sudo  yum  - y  update

Install the Platform Development Tools

sudo yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"

Upgrade autoconf/automake/bison

sudo yum install -y wget

Upgrade autoconf

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
tar xvf autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
cd autoconf-2.69
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
cd ..

Upgrade automake

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.14.tar.gz
tar xvf automake-1.14.tar.gz
cd automake-1.14
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
cd ..

Upgrade bison

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.5.1.tar.gz
tar xvf bison-2.5.1.tar.gz
cd bison-2.5.1
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
cd ..

Add Optional C++ Language Library Dependencies

All languages require the Apache Thrift IDL Compiler and at this point everything needed to make the IDL Compiler is installed (if you only need the compiler you can skip to the Build step).

If you will be developing Apache Thrift clients/servers in C++ you will also need additional packages to support the C++ shared library build.

Install C++ Lib Dependencies

sudo yum -y install libevent-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel

Upgrade Boost >= 1.53

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.53.0/boost_1_53_0.tar.gz
tar xvf boost_1_53_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_53_0
./bootstrap.sh
sudo ./b2 install

install java install ant

yum install ant

If you do not install ant, you will find that java is not supported during configure:

**Building Java Library ........ : no**

Build and Install the Apache Thrift IDL Compiler

git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/thrift.git
cd thrift
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --with-lua=no
make
sudo make install

3. Solve the problems in compilation:

(1) The first problem that arises is:

Could not find event2/event_compat.h file

Solution: Download the latest version of libevent, and then install it

(2) The second question

src/thrift/server/TNonblockingServer.cpp: In member function ‘void apache::thrift::server::TNonblockingServer::TConnection::workSocket()‘:

　　　　src/thrift/server/TNonblockingServer.cpp:460:16: error: expected ‘)‘ before ‘PRIu32‘
　　　　"(%" PRIu32 " > %" PRIu64

Solution:

Changed the file: src/thrift/Thrift.h, and finally compiled successfully, the changes are as follows:

　　　　#ifdef HAVE_INTTYPES_H

　　　　#define __STDC_FORMAT_MACROS

　　　　#include <inttypes.h>
　　　　#endif

(3) The third problem
is that TVirtualTransport is not defined in src/thrift/transport/THeaderTransport.h
