[Apache Wiki <wi...@apache.org>]

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Thrift Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by tom:
http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftInstallation

The comment on the change is:
grabbed installation notes from the readme file

New page:
If you are building from the first time out of the source repository, you will
need to generate the configure scripts.  (This is not necessary if you
downloaded a tarball.)  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.
