thrift cpp sample code compile error

Question

I'm new to Thrift. I think I installed it correctly. I have the folowing libs :

luckyan315@ubuntu:~/code/thrift-0.8.0/tutorial/cpp$ ll /usr/local/lib/

total 11496
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root     4096 Mar 23 19:35 ./
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root     4096 Oct 12 22:27 ../

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root      991 Mar 31 20:26 libthrift.la*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root       18 Mar 23 19:35 libthrift.so -> libthrift-0.8.0.so*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   160727 Mar 31 20:26 libthriftz-0.8.0.so*

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root       19 Mar 23 19:35 libthriftz.so -> libthriftz-0.8.0.so*

Then I tryed to compile the cppClient tutorial but I have "undefined reference" errors as follows:

The -lthrift option should be at the end of the command line, after the cpp files.

I've compiled successfully the sample on Ubuntu 11.10/gcc 4.6.1/boost 1.49 with the following makefile:

THRIFT_VER =thrift-0.8.0
USR_DIR    =${HOME}/usr
THRIFT_DIR =${USR_DIR}/${THRIFT_VER}
INCS_DIRS  =-I${USR_DIR}/include -I${THRIFT_DIR}/include/thrift
LIBS_DIRS  =-L${USR_DIR}/lib -L${USR_DIR}/${THRIFT_VER}/lib
CPP_DEFS   =-D=HAVE_CONFIG_H
CPP_OPTS   =-Wall -O2
LIBS       =-lthrift

GEN_SRC    = ../gen-cpp/SharedService.cpp  \
             ../gen-cpp/shared_types.cpp   \
             ../gen-cpp/tutorial_types.cpp \
             ../gen-cpp/Calculator.cpp
GEN_INC    = -I../gen-cpp

default: server client

server: CppServer.cpp
    g++ ${CPP_OPTS} ${CPP_DEFS} -o CppServer ${GEN_INC} ${INCS_DIRS} CppServer.cpp ${GEN_SRC} ${LIBS_DIRS} ${LIBS}

client: CppClient.cpp
    g++ ${CPP_OPTS} ${CPP_DEFS} -o CppClient ${GEN_INC} ${INCS_DIRS} CppClient.cpp ${GEN_SRC} ${LIBS_DIRS} ${LIBS}

clean:
    $(RM) -r CppClient CppServer

Take care to put tabs at the beginning of the make commands.

My layout is:

boost 1.49 installed in ${HOME}/usr
boost headers in ${HOME}/usr/include
boost libs in ${HOME}/usr/lib

thrift 0.8.0 installed in ${HOME}/usr/thrift-0.8.0
thrift headers in ${HOME}/usr/thrift-0.8.0/include
thrift libs in ${HOME}/usr/thrift-0.8.0/lib

To run the samples:

#!/bin/bash
THRIFT_VER=thrift-0.8.0
USR_DIR=${HOME}/usr
THRIFT_DIR=${USR_DIR}/${THRIFT_VER}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${THRIFT_DIR}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
exec $1
