I’m trying to build a thrift server in c++ but i seem to be having a problem with the linking stage. Can anyone shed any light?

Here’s what i’m running. (forgive me being a c++ n00b):

g++ -Wall -L/usr/local/lib  user_constants.o user_types.o UserService_server.o -lthrift

And here’s the output 

user_types.o: In function `UserCollection::read(apache::thrift::protocol::TProtocol*)':

    Your build line looks a bit ‘thin.’ Are you sure that you’re picking up all the locations of the libraries using -L and the libraries themselves using -l ?

    Looking at the above, I’d say Boost and Apache are the culprits. Do you have to link them in seperately? Also, remeber than on some architectures, it’s expected that the library path variable (usually LD_LIBRARY_PATH) needs to be set to the paths on your build command line at link time as well as runtime.
