Build Thrift compiler (without libraries)

最近在 Linux 與 OS X 上編了 Thrift 0.12.0 要用，跟之前 0.10.0 狀況好像不太一樣了。

Built Thrift 0.12.0 on Linux and OS X recently. The steps to get successful build is different from 0.10.0.

我只需要 Thrift 的 IDL 編譯器，不需要語言的函式庫，用下面的方法可以建置出來:

All I need is Thrift compiler. I excluded libraries for languages to speed-up the build process. Here is the commands to complete the build:

1. 將會需要 C++ 編譯器，系統上要有基本的建置環境。另外比較特殊的是 Flex 與 Bison (>= 2.5) 這兩個工具，也需要事先安裝好。

   Essential build environment is required. Flex and Bison (>= 2.5) are also required.

2. 會需要 Boost 的標頭檔，因此要先建置出 Boost 標頭檔:

   We will need Boost. Headers are good enough for completing build. Generate Boost headers first:

   $ ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/tmp/p

   $ ./b2 --with-headers

3. 開始正式建置 Thrift 編譯器:

   Configure and build the Thrift compiler:

   $ ./configure CXXFLAGS=-I/private/tmp/b/boost_1_70_0 --enable-libs=no --enable-tests=no --enable-tutorial=no --with-boost=/tmp/p --prefix=/target/thrift-0.12.0

   $ make

   $ make install

   比較特殊的是要使用 CXXFLAGS= 來讓建置過程可以找到 Boost 標頭檔，說明文件中的 --with-boost= 似乎是完全沒作用。

   The most tricky part is instructing build process to reach Boost header with CXXFLAGS= flag. The --with-boost= flag in help message does not work for me.
