C++ linker error in Apache Thrift tutorial - undefined symbols

Question

I am running through Apache\'s Thrift tutorial: http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftUsageC%2B%2B My Thrift is version 0.9.1, and I\'m on OS X. I\'ve performed a search for sim

I ran into something similar on OSX Mavericks (I believe), this was a while back. Since you're using clang as well I take it you might be on OSX too?

Anyways, what I ended up doing was compiling on the C++11 standard and using for the stdlib libc++ as opposed to libstdc++. Current versions of clang deal well with both.

So your compile lines would probably end up looking something like this:

g++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H -DHAVE_NETINET_IN_H -Wall -I/usr/local/include/thrift Foo.cpp Foo_server.cpp foo_constants.cpp foo_types.cpp -L/usr/local/lib -lthrift -o foo

I also vaguely recall I had to resort to c++0x on linux and gcc, but these are subject to compiler/version.
