This is a sandboxed install of "Scribe" https://github.com/facebook/scribe/ . Since now it is aimed to work on MacOSX Lion. Should be working on other OSX as well, for linux at least the include prefix differs.

The special thing about this buildout is that it does not install any global files and has no interaction besides the ports to be installed. Of course boost could also be built in buildout but this seems useless to me.

Install all necessary ports:

sudo port -v install libevent boost

Install:

sudo aptitude install libc-client2007e-dev

As usual for buildout, do the following two commands to setup the sandbox:

python bootstrap.py
bin/buildout -vvN

Thanks to that buildout for some nice impressions regarding the buildout structure: https://bitbucket.org/cykooz/scribe-buildout/

Since now the compile dies during scribe itself, when thrift and stuff has been built and is in use. Don't know the reason for that yet - I'm not a c++ guy.

This helps: change ->filename( ) to ->path( ).filename( ).string( ) http://www.codelain.com/forum/index.php?topic=16462.0 but still there is no success.
