Question

I cannot, for the life of me, successfully run \"gem install thrift\", the thing fails when building the gem\'s native extensions; this is the output:

Answer 1

the issue for the moment can be found at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2219

As a temporary fix for folks using gems, you can try setting the #define'ing the _FORTIFY_SOURCE macro to 0 to make strlcpy a function rather than a macro:

gem install thrift -- --with-cppflags='-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0'

or if you're using bundler, you can set the cflags for thrift locally via:

bundle config build.thrift --with-cppflags='-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0'
