Mac上安装Thrift

现在在做一个多屏互动项目，需要Iphone设备与终端管理系统通信。

调研了下，决定使用Thrift框架实现通信模块。准备在Mac上安装Thrift，支持Objective-c和Java。

环境：Mac mini

Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

1.安装Thrift

环境要求：http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftRequirements

Basic requirements

• A relatively POSIX-compliant *NIX system
  • Cygwin or MinGW can be used on Windows
• g++ 3.3.5+
• boost 1.33.1+ (1.34.0 for building all tests)
• Runtime libraries for lex and yacc might be needed for the compiler.

Requirements for building from SVN

• GNU build tools: autoconf 2.59+ (2.60+ recommended), automake 1.9+, libtool 1.5.24+

• pkg-config autoconf macros (pkg.m4) (Use MacPorts for Mac OS X)

• lex and yacc (developed primarily with flex and bison)
• libssl-dev

Language requirements

• C++
  • Boost 1.33.1+
  • libevent (optional, to build the nonblocking server)
  • zlib (optional)
• Java
  • Java 1.5+
  • Apache Ant
  • Apache Ivy (recommended)
  • Apache Commons Lang (recommended)
  • SLF4J
• C#: Mono 1.2.4+ (and pkg-config to detect it) or Visual Studio 2005+
• Python 2.4+ (including header files for extension modules)
• PHP 5.0+ (optionally including header files for extension modules)
• Ruby 1.8+ (including header files for extension modules)
• Erlang R12 (R11 works but not recommended)
• Perl 5
  • Bit::Vector
  • Class::Accessor

安装方法：http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/GettingOsxPackages

Install Boost

Download the boost library and bjam installer from http://www.boost.org Untar and place bjam in the boost folder and then compile with

$ sudo ./bjam toolset=darwin link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared variant=release address-model=64 stage install

Install libevent

Download libevent from http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ untar and compile with

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-static
$ make
$ sudo make install

Install Apache Thrift

Download apache thrift from http://thrift.apache.org untar and compile with

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --disable-static --with-boost=/usr/local --with-libevent=/usr/local --without-python --without-csharp --without-ruby --without-perl --without-php --without-haskell --without-erlang
$ make
$ sudo make install

安装完完后，执行文件为/usr/local/bin/thrift

2.使用

http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftUsageObjectiveC

Getting started

This tutorial will walk you through creating a sample project which is a bulletin board application using Thrift. It consists of an iOS client app written in Objective-C and a Java server. It is assumed that you will have a basic knowledge of Objective-C and Xcode to complete this tutorial. Note that the client runs on Mac OS with small modification.

Acknowledgment: A part of this tutorial was borrowed from newacct's tutorial.

Sample Download

You can download the sample project from here. It includes:

• The whole myThriftApp project
• the runtime library in thrift/ directory from 0.8.0-dev (You should replace this with the latest one.)
• idl.thrift

• Server.java and BulletinBoard.java in gen-java/ directory

Requirements

Make sure that your system meets the requirements as noted in ThriftRequirements.

• Thrift 0.9.0+ (0.8.0-dev+)
• iOS 4+ or Mac OS X 10.5+
• Xcode 4.2+

The following are required for the Java server; but, not the Objective-C client.

• Java 1.4+ (already installed in Mac OS X 10.5+)

• SLF4J (available at http://www.slf4j.org/download.html)

Creating the Thrift file

We will use a simple thrift IDL file, myThriftApp/idl.thrift. This defines a bulletin board service. You can upload your message and date using add() method. get()method returns a list of the struct so that we demonstrate how to send/receive an array of structs in Objective-C.

// idl.thrift
struct Message {
     1: string text,
     2: string date
}

service BulletinBoard {
    void add(1: Message msg),
    list<Message> get()

}

• Run the thrift compiler to generate the stub files (e.g. gen-cocoa/idl.h and gen-coc
