I'm trying to build up a thrift with version 0.9.2, here is my command that I executed:
sudo ./configure --with-boost=/usr/local/boost_1.58.0
It will succeeded, but I get a returned message like this:
thrift 0.9.2

If something is missing that you think should be present,
please skim the output of configure to find the missing
component. Details are present in config.log.
I've tried many ways to let the Build TNonblockingServer option be YES but I failed.
You need libevent to be installed. Here are the relevant parts from configure.ac:
AX_LIB_EVENT([1.0])
have_libevent=$success
and
echo " Build TNonblockingServer .. : $have_libevent"
It's also listed under the "language requirements" section over here:
Language requirements
C++
Boost 1.53.0
libevent (optional, to build the nonblocking server)
zlib (optional)
The minimum boost version is actually 1.54, the website is slightly outdated regaring that point.
