Bison 2.3 is preinstalled on OSX, but this version is too low. When building Thrift with Bison 2.3, the following error would pop out:
invalid directive: '%code'
For such case, please update Bison:
brew install bison
brew link bison --force
Then, you need to tell the OS where the new bison is.
For Bash users:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/bison/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
For zsh users:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/bison/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
Please make sure a relative new version of Boost is ready on your machine. If no Boost available, install the latest version of Boost:
brew install boost
brew link boost
Make sure the Openssl libraries has been install on your Mac. The default Openssl include file search path is “/usr/local/opt/openssl/include”. If Openssl header files can not be found when building Thrift, please add option -Dopenssl.include.dir="" to specify the correct directory on your Mac.
To install all dependencies, run:
Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install gcc g++ bison flex libboost-all-dev
CentOS:
yum install gcc g++ bison flex boost-devel
Make sure a complete Windows C++ building environment is prepared on your machine. MSVC, MinGW... are supported.
If you are using MS Visual Studio, remember to install Visual Studio C/C++ IDE and compiler(supporting CMake, Clang, MinGW).
Windows Flex and Bison could be downloaded from SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winflexbison/
After downloaded, please rename the executables to flex.exe and bison.exe and add them to “PATH” environment variables.
For Boost, please download from the official website: https://www.boost.org/users/download/
Then build Boost by executing bootstrap.bat and b2.exe.
bootstrap.bat .\b2.exe
To help CMake find your Boost libraries on windows, you should set -Dboost.include.dir=${your boost header folder} -Dboost.library.dir=${your boost lib (stage) folder} to your mvn build command.

if you occur some errors when compiling thrift source code, try to downgrade your xcode-commandline from 12 to 11.5
When Building Thrift and downloading packages via “wget”, a possible annoying issue may occur with error message looks like:
