please skim the output of configure to find the missing

==========================

Is the C++ library necessary?

The config.log file says that it needs boost 1.54.0 or greater, for some files. Can this be the reason the C++ library is not built?

Here's the Thrift webpage for the installation dependencies:

https://thrift.apache.org/docs/install/

It /says/ it only requires Boost 1.53. The libevent and zlib are optional dependencies, but you'll want to have the libevent, which I believe can be installed with "yum install libevent-devel" on Fedora.

If it really is complaining about Boost 1.53 and saying it needs 1.54, that's either a bug in their build script or their documentation.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Looks like the server isn't being started. When you run cmake, you should see that under enabled components, you have:

* gr-ctrlport

** thrift

That tells you ControlPort is enabled and the Thrift backend will be built for it. You can also tell by looking at gnuradio/config.h to see if GR_RPCSERVER_ENABLED and GR_RPCSERVER_THRIFT are defined there.

My guess is that cmake isn't picking up Thrift. It requires version 0.9.2 to run. You can get some info on building this yourself here:

http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/ControlPort

I also just pushed a new apache-thrift recipe to PyBOMBS today.
