Apache Thrift - Centos 6.5 Install http://thrift.apache.org/docs/install/centos
Building Apache Thrift on CentOS 6.5
Starting with a minimal installation, the following steps are required to build Apache Thrift on Centos 6.5. This example builds from source, using the current development master branch. These instructions should also work with Apache Thrift releases beginning with 0.9.2.
Update the System
sudo yum -y update
Install the Platform Development Tools
sudo yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
Upgrade autoconf/automake/bison
sudo yum install -y wget
Upgrade autoconf
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
tar xvf autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
cd autoconf-2.69
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
cd ..
Upgrade automake
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.14.tar.gz
tar xvf automake-1.14.tar.gz
cd automake-1.14
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
cd ..
Upgrade bison
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.5.1.tar.gz
tar xvf bison-2.5.1.tar.gz
cd bison-2.5.1
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
cd ..
Add Optional C++ Language Library Dependencies
All languages require the Apache Thrift IDL Compiler and at this point everything needed to make the IDL Compiler is installed (if you only need the compiler you can skip to the Build step).
If you will be developing Apache Thrift clients/servers in C++ you will also need additional packages to support the C++ shared library build.
Install C++ Lib Dependencies
sudo yum -y install libevent-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel
Upgrade Boost >= 1.53
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.53.0/boost_1_53_0.tar.gz
tar xvf boost_1_53_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_53_0
./bootstrap.sh
sudo ./b2 install
Build and Install the Apache Thrift IDL Compiler
git clone https://github.com/apache/thrift.git
cd thrift
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --with-lua=no
make
sudo make install
This will build the compiler (thrift/compiler/cpp/thrift --version) and any language libraries supported. The make install step installs the compiler on the path: /usr/local/bin/thrift You can use the ./configure --enable-libs=no switch to build the Apache Thrift IDL Compiler only without lib builds. To run tests use "make check".
