Summary: Added the configure script variable PY_PREFIX which serves the same purpose for Python as --prefix does for C/C++. We chose to do this because Python has different conventions for where to install libraries. Reviewed By: mcslee Test Plan: Full clean builds and installs of Thrift from the Thrift root, with and without PY_PREFIX. Watched output of make install. Ran configure from lib/py without PY_PREFIX, with PY_PREFIX and with PY_PREFIX in the environment. Checked config.status for each. Revert Plan: okay git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift/trunk@665248 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Thrift is a lightweight, language-independent software stack with an
|
|
associated code generation mechanism for RPC. Thrift provides clean
|
|
abstractions for data transport, data serialization, and application
|
|
level processing. The code generation system takes a simple definition
|
|
language as its input and generates code across programming languages that
|
|
uses the abstracted stack to build interoperable RPC clients and servers.
|
|
|
|
Thrift is specifically designed to support non-atomic version changes
|
|
across client and server code.
|
|
|
|
For more details on Thrift's design and implementation, take a gander at
|
|
the Thrift whitepaper included in this distribution or at the README files
|
|
in your particular subdirectory of interest.

Requirements
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Thrift requires boost shared pointers from boost-1.33.1 or greater, see:
|
|
http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/smart_ptr.htm
|
|
|
|
Some portions of Thrift also depend upon libevent, see:
|
|
http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/
|
|
|
|
These libraries are open source and may be freely obtained, but they are not
|
|
provided as a part of this distribution.

|
Thrift was inspired by pillar, a lightweight RPC tool written by Adam D'Angelo.

|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
If you are building from the first time out of the source repository, you will
|
|
need to generate the configure scripts. From the top directory, do:
|
|
|
|
./bootstrap.sh
|
|
|
|
Once the configure scripts are generated, thrift can be configured.
|
|
From the top directory, do:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
You may need to specify the location of the boost files explicitly.
|
|
If you installed boost in /usr/local, you would run configure as follows:
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-boost=/usr/local
|
|
|
|
Note that by default the thrift C++ library is typically built with debugging
|
|
symbols included. If you want to customize these options you should use the
|
|
CXXFLAGS option in configure, as such:
|
|
|
|
./configure CXXFLAGS='-g -O2'
|
|
./configure CFLAGS='-g -O2'
|
|
./configure CPPFLAGS='-DDEBUG_MY_FEATURE'
|
|
|
|
Run ./configure --help to see other configuration options
|
|
|
|
Please be aware that the Python library will ignore the --prefix option
|
|
and just install wherever Python's distutils puts it (usually along
|
|
the lines of /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/). If you need to control
|
|
where the Python modules are installed, set the PY_PREFIX variable.
|
|
(DESTDIR is respected for Python and C++.)
|
|
|
|
Make thrift:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
From the top directory, become superuser and do:
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Note that some language packages must be installed manually using build tools
|
|
better suited to those languages (at the time of this writing, this applies
|
|
to Java, Ruby, PHP).
|
|
|
|
Look for the README file in the lib/<language>/ folder for more details on the
|
|
installation of each language library package.
