Greetings I am still experiencing difficulties with Boost.Python needed by kdeedu-4.2.1. This link http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/python/doc/building.html gives guidance on building Boost.Python. I went to section4 and passed --with-python to the build.sh script of boost.jam. The build went fine. I then turned to boost. I found first a difference between boost:-
boost_1_38_0/libs/python exist boost_1_37_0/libs/python does not I decided to install the former. This now has cmake as well as gnu configure. cmake works like so cmake ../boost_1_38_0 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_IS_EXPERIMENTAL=YES_I_KNOW -Wno-dev ########running make yields:- [100%] Building CXX object tools/bcp/CMakeFiles/bcp.dir/output_licence_info.cpp.o Linking CXX executable ../../bin/bcp [100%] Built target bcp ######running make install yields:- -- Installing: /usr/include//boost/dynamic_property_map.hpp CMake Error at libs/preprocessor/cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE): file INSTALL cannot find file "/usr/src/build-08/vpn-08/sources-vpnc08/base-vpnc-08/boost_1_38_0/libs/preprocessor/include/boost" to install. Call Stack (most recent call first): libs/cmake_install.cmake:37 (INCLUDE) cmake_install.cmake:42 (INCLUDE) make: *** [install] Error 1 ###### installing by conventional gnu configure. make and make install appears to work but kdeedu-4.2.1 complains Boost.Python is still missing, (see below):- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- The following external packages were located on your system. -- This installation will have the extra features provided by these packages. + Experimental Python binding support for the Marble library + Python + OCaml + LibFacile + OpenGL + OpenBabel2 + libcfitsio0 + LibXSLT + LibXML2 + GNU Readline + OpenGL + Gmm++ + Qalculate + GSL ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- The following OPTIONAL packages could NOT be located on your system. -- Consider installing them to enable more features from this software. + Boost.Python, 1.31 or higher: Kig can optionally use Boost.Python for Python scripting <http://www.boost.org/> + libindi, 0.6 or higher: A framework for controlling astronomical devices such as telescopes, CCDs, filter wheels..etc. <http://indi.sf.net> Gives KStars support for controlling astronomical devices. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is unclear if Boost.Python is built using configure (with--python), make, make install or with the experimental cmake (which cannot be installed!). Input from those fiddling with Boost.Python would be gratefully received.
