I download thrift 0.8 tarball,and my GOROOT is "/home/alex/go",what should be modified to make sure go library got built when compile thrift?
Currently,when run ./configure got
.......
Building PHP Library ......... : no
Building Erlang Library ...... : yes
Building Go Library .......... : no (is this saying go library won't be built?)
First of all, run ./configure --help and look for something like --enable-go or --with-go command line options — it may well happen that building of the Go library is just not attempted by default. I have never tried to build thrift myself so I have no idea about whether it's true or not; check yourself.
If you're sure building of the Go library is enabled by default, you'll have to check why configure was not satisfied with your environment. Look at the config.log file produced by the ./configure run and search for the "Building go Library" substring in there — somewhere around its occurence, you'll find what test the configure script performed, and why it failed.
If the cause is still unclear after investigation, look at the configure script code — it's just a shell script after all (complex but still readable for a programmer).
thrift do not support Go 1 yet. The configure script try to find the old go commands to build go library.
