The main focus of this package is the new C++ server, under thrift/lib/cpp2. This repo also contains a branch of the rest of apache thrift's repo with any changes Facebook has made, however the build system only supports cpp2.
Apache thrift is at https://thrift.apache.org/
Building
Note that under GCC, you probably need at least 2GB of memory to compile fbthrift. If you see 'internal compiler error', this is probably because you ran out of memory during compilation.
Dependencies
-
Facebook's folly library: https://github.com/facebook/folly
-
In addition to the packages required for building folly, Ubuntu 13.10 and 14.04 require the following packages (feel free to cut and paste the apt-get command below):
sudo apt-get install \
flex \
bison \
libkrb5-dev \
libsasl2-dev \
libnuma-dev \
pkg-config \
libssl-dev
For your convenience script are provided to install fbthrift
's
dependencies on several common platforms:
cd fbthrift/thrift/
# Or ./build/deps_ubuntu_12.04.sh or ./build/deps_centos.sh
./build/deps_ubuntu_14.04.sh
autoreconf -if && ./configure && make
Each deps_*.sh
script will install a variety of base system packages, as
well as compile and install into in /usr/local
some from-source
dependencies (like folly
).
-
Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit requires the following packages:
- make
- autoconf
- libtool
- g++
- libboost-all-dev
- libevent-dev
- flex
- bison
- libgoogle-glog-dev
- libdouble-conversion-dev
- scons
- libkrb5-dev
- libsnappy-dev
- libsasl2-dev
Mstch also needs to be installed.
