Description

I've been trying to build thrift 0.9.2 on my slackware current box, but it keeps failing to find libboost_unit_test_framework.a... a little digging resulted in finding that the Slackware boost package builds only the static libraries (http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware64-current/source/l/boost/boost.SlackBuild)... Is there any way to build thrift using the shared libraries? I wouldn't want to modify the default boost package on my box, it makes more sense to me to build thrift using the shared libraries instead
