Error installing thrift on mac yosemite

I followed these steps to install thrift on MAC Yosemite :

  1. Downloaded and unzipped the package from : http://archive.apache.org/dist/thrift/0.9.0/
  2. Followed the steps on this page : https://thrift.apache.org/docs/install/os_x

But I am facing the following error, after I run ./configure command :

./configure: line 17810: syntax error near unexpected token QT,' ./configure: line 17810: PKG_CHECK_MODULES(QT, QtCore >= 4.3, QtNetwork >= 4.3, have_qt=yes, have_qt=no)'

Can somebody help?

Solution

  • Ok. It seems the pkg-config installed on my machine was not brew installed pkg-config. So, uninstalled and installed pkg-config using brew. This resolved the above issue. After that, I also found that automake installed on my machine was 1.15 and I need automake 1.12 to install thrift 0.9.0.
