The "GettingDebianPackages" page has been changed by JakeFarrell:
http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/GettingDebianPackages?action=diff&rev1=3&rev2=4

- = Installing the required packages on Debian and its derivates such as Ubuntu =
+ Moved to http://thrift.apache.org/docs/install/
  
- == Required packages ==
- 
- {{{
- sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-program-options-dev libevent-dev automake libtool flex bison pkg-config g++ libssl-dev 
- }}}
- 
- Then install the Java JDK of your choice. Type {{{javac}}} to see a list of available packages, pick the one you prefer and {{{apt-get install}}} it.
- 
- Debian Lenny Users need some packages from backports => {{{sudo apt-get -t lenny-backports install automake libboost-test-dev}}}
- 
- == Optional packages ==
- 
- Some other packages depend on what languages you want Thrift to support.
-  1. For ruby, install {{{ruby-full ruby-dev librspec-ruby rake rubygems libdaemons-ruby libgemplugin-ruby mongrel}}}.
-  1. For python, install {{{python-dev python-twisted}}}.
-  1. For perl, install {{{libbit-vector-perl}}}.
-  1. For php, install {{{php5-dev php5-cli}}}.
-  1. For c_glib, install {{{libglib2.0-dev}}} (Debian Lenny Users => {{{sudo apt-get -t lenny-backports install libglib2.0-dev}}})
-  1. For erlang, install {{{erlang-base erlang-eunit erlang-dev}}}
-  1. For csharp, install {{{mono-gmcs libmono-dev libmono-system-web2.0-cil}}}
-  1. For haskell, install {{{ghc6 cabal-install libghc6-binary-dev libghc6-network-dev libghc6-http-dev}}}
-  1. For building ''Thrift Compiler for Windows'', install {{{mingw32 mingw32-binutils mingw32-runtime}}}
- 
- 
- == Ubuntu 8.10 and configure ==
- 
- '''Note''' If you are using thrift from subversion/git after 2008-12-22, this issue is resolved.
- 
- Before [[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-208|THRIFT-208]], Thrift's {{{configure}}} script assumes that {{{/bin/sh}}} is actually {{{/bin/bash}}}. Since on Ubuntu 8.10 {{{/bin/sh}}} is {{{/bin/dash}}}, the {{{configure}}} script fails.
- 
- There are two possible workarounds:
- 
- '''Workaround 1 (non invasive): '''
- set the environment variable CONFIG_SHELL before running configure
- {{{
- $ CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash ./configure
- }}}
- 
- '''workaround 2 (invasive):'''
- symlink {{{/bin/sh}}} to {{{/bin/bash}}}
- {{{
- $ sudo ln -f -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
- $ ./configure
- }}}
- 
- 
- == Unofficial packages ==
- [[http://fluidinfo.com|Fluidinfo]] is providing unofficial packages for Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 through its [[https://launchpad.net/~txamqpteam/+archive|Launchpad PPA]]. If you want to build packages for the Debian-based distro of your choice, you can apply the latest patch at [[http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-71|THRIFT-71]].
