# I had to manually edit config.h and lib/cpp/src/thrift/config.h, because does #define malloc rpl_malloc and #define realloc rpl_realloc 

make install

# if you build both (Device & Simulator), you might want to run
lipo -create ../ios-build/lib/libthrift.a ../ios-simulator-build/lib/libthrift.a -output libthrift.a

# tadahhh, a nice all in one libthrift.a

Hello. I have a problem with build Thrift for ios.
When I use your build script It occured error. below
/usr/local/include/thrift/transport/TBufferTransports.h:444:28: error: no member named 'rpl_malloc' in namespace 'std'
buf = (uint8_t*)std::malloc(size);
~~~~~^
/usr/local/include/thrift/config.h:418:16: note: expanded from macro 'malloc'

define malloc rpl_malloc

           ^

src/thrift/transport/THttpTransport.cpp:50:26: error: no member named 'rpl_malloc' in namespace 'std'
httpBuf_ = (char*)std::malloc(httpBufSize_ + 1);
~~~~~^
/usr/local/include/thrift/config.h:418:16: note: expanded from macro 'malloc'

define malloc rpl_malloc

           ^

src/thrift/transport/THttpTransport.cpp:203:28: error: no member named 'rpl_realloc' in namespace 'std'
httpBuf_ = (char*)std::realloc(httpBuf_, httpBufSize_ + 1);
~~~~~^
/usr/local/include/thrift/config.h:430:17: note: expanded from macro 'realloc'

define realloc rpl_realloc

I think you changed something in config.h and lib/cpp/src/thrift/config.h.
Could you let me know what you changed?
