Hi, I was trying to compile a simple example for connecting to a cassandra instance using the thrift interface. As a note, I am doing all of this without access to super user privileges on a linux machine.
I installed thrift and the c++ generator, put the include headers on my CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH variable, and the lib directory on my LIBRARY_PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Cassandra is also installed and I ran thrift --gen cpp cassandra.thrift to generate the cassandra header files. Using those I compiled my example like so g++ -Wall run_measure.cpp cassandra_constants.cpp Cassandra.cpp cassandra_types.cpp -lthrift -o cassandra_example The top of the errors that I get are In file included from run_measure.cpp:13:Cassandra.h:4289: error: ‘org::apache::thrift’ has not been declaredCassandra.h:4289: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘...’ before ‘*’ tokenCassandra.h:4291: error: cannot declare pointer to ‘void’ memberCassandra.h:4291: error: template argument 2 is invalid Its complaining mostly about things in the generated files so I am not sure if I can change them or if I did something else wrong. As reference my thrift install is to $HOME/thrift so the path of the include is a little wierd, it looks like $HOME/thrift/include/thrift but I don't think that would cause this error. If anyone has any experience using cassandra in c++ I would really appreciate the help.
