I have configured and installed thrift package in my Linux machine. Now am trying to cross compile thrift for ARM.

The steps I followed are :

  1. Untar the thrift package
  2. Configure using ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --without-java --without-python --with-c_glib --with-cpp
    But when I am doing this, I get the following error 
checking for boostlib >= 1.54.0... yes
checking for libevent >= 1.0... configure: error: in '/home/deeraj/arm_thrift':
configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See 'config.log' for more details

To over come this, I replaced AC_RUN_IFELSE with AC_LINK_IFELSE in the files aclocal/ax_lib_event.m4 and aclocal/ax_lib_zlib.m4. After this, I ran the autoconf

When I ran the ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --without-java --without-python --with-c_glib --with-cpp again, I got the following error :

checking for setsockopt in -lsocket... no
checking for BN_init in -lcrypto... no
configure: error: "Error: libcrypto required."

I have already installed libssl-dev, but its not removing the error.

How can we solve this issue and cross compile and install thrift for ARM?

  • By "installed libssl-dev", do you mean that you've configured and built a suitable `libcrypto.so` _with the cross-compiler_, or just dumped its source files in a directory somewhere? The latter is insufficient ;) – Notlikethat Apr 22 '15 at 08:16
  • I installed using the command `sudo apt-get install libssl-dev`. I have seen in other posts that, this is supposed to solve the issue. – Deeraj Soman Apr 22 '15 at 08:48
  • Have you tried asking this on the mailing list? Or freenode? – JensG Apr 22 '15 at 19:48
  • No I have not. Going to ask in the mailing list – Deeraj Soman Apr 23 '15 at 05:11

    The libssl-dev package is meant for installing libcrypto.so for direct use on your host system. Since you are cross compiling, you will need to build and provide a reference to libcrypto (and its header files) that is compiled for the target platform. – DrChandra Oct 04 '17 at 17:26
