Notes on Compiling Thrift with OE SDR

gistfile1.txt

Ran ./bootstrap before setting OE environment
 - Looking for some Perl support (File/Find.pm) not in the nativesdk
    -- it is in the target sysroot

Patched files to turn off test support in C:

Turned off Python3 support; it was finding host's python3 binary:

In another checkout of thrift (last I checked, it didn't support VPATH builds), we need to build the native (x86) support:
./configure --prefix=/usr --without-libevent --without-zlib --with-cpp --with-python --disable-tests --disable-tutorial --disable-coverage --disable-boostthreads --without-php --without-nodejs --without-java --enable-shared
make
make install DESTDIR=/oecore/sysroot/x86dir
