Which Thrift version are you using? Have you tried updating gcc/autoconf as suggested in the other question? – Goodard

yes,all plugins are the recent release.I use the source from thrift.apache.org and github.com/apache/thrift .This error is use github's source.The org's source is:src/generate/t_java_generator.cc:2830:14: error: incompatible operand types ('bool' and 'basic_ostream<char, std::__1::char_traits<char> >') first ? first = false : indent(f_service_) << "else "; 1 error generated. make[3]: *** [thrift-t_java_generator.o] Error 1 – Truckage

Could your first problem be related to this one? There's something wrong with your setup, and it is probably not related to Thrift per se. The second is this one and it is a completely different problem which does not belong into this question. – Goodard

Shouldn't this be migrated to apple.stackexchange.com? – Puce

Answer 1

Try following:

$ brew install pkg-config

I faced the same problem today and I didn't want to use brew install thrift as I have my boost installation in a custom location.

Installing pkg-config and then building a clean checkout of thrift worked.

Answer 2

I just install thrift use brew.Because my brew version is too low.And I update my brew, it works.But when I update my brew,I meet a problem this--https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/28965#issuecomment-42163418 Thank all answers!

just command these：

brew update
brew install thrift

if update meet a problem like this：

undefined method `to_sym' for nil:NilClass

Just brew update again,it will work!

How about installing macports and simply doing:

$ sudo port install thrift

Answer 4

For thrift 11, install brew first and then simply use this command:

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/4ba654c6d99b3b6804dd3843546a9dcbb700188b/Formula/thrift.rb
