Mario Emmenlauer resolved THRIFT-4412.
--------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

[~jking3] I thik you are right and this issue is too broad for thrift. Its possibly just a cmake issue that requires special handling. I'll investigate with cmake, and if I find a workaround I'll propose it here.

> 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?
