             Summary: thrift cmake does not use absolute library path, linking system libraries
                 Key: THRIFT-4412
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4412
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build Process
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.11.0, 1.0
            Reporter: Mario Emmenlauer


I build thrift using cmake on Linux. It works generally very good on many platforms (I've tested Linux, Windows and MacOSX extensively). But one issue is plaguing me. I have my own custom boost libraries, libevent and others. I set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to their install directory. This generally also works well, and cmake finds the libraries. However in the final Makefile, the linker command uses `-lxxx` for library `xxx` instead of the usual cmake absolute path `/a/b/c/libxxx.so`. This is a problem because `ld` suddenly prefers the system libraries over my custom builds. This in turn breaks the build for me.

I do not have this problem with any other cmake builds. And I tried various workarounds to force cmake to use the absolute path, but failed. Did somebody maybe add this on purpose?
