Install libboost-dev. Perhaps there is a bug in the twinkle source
package; I would think that it should depend upon libboost-dev, but it
seems not to.
BTW, what distribution are you using?
cat /etc/issue: Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid (unstable)
From what distribution did you pull the source for twinkle?
I have pulled the source at:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~mfnboer/twinkle/download/
but I missed the option --without-kde (./configure --without-kde)
but with this option the result is the same.
thanks
If you download the source using "apt-get source twinkle" you get the
Debianized version of the source which should compile easier on Debian
systems.
It's also relatively easy to install using the pristine source, but you
have to make some adjustments manually. In this case, I suspect that one
of those adjustments would be to specify options to configure such as
(for example):
./configure --with-libboost_regex=/path/to/libboost_regex/
If that doesn't work, although it's not for the faint of heart, you
could also examine config.log to find out what line of the configure
script failed; then you'd look at the configure script to see what that
line was doing. Perhaps it uses an exotic way of finding libboost_regex,
or the path is hard-coded (but wrong).
Thanks for your help Mumia, the mailing list of twinkle gave me the
solution: it's libboost-dev 1.34.0-1 and libboost-regex-dev 1.34.0-1
which cause the problem. I downgraded to libboost-dev 1.33.1-10 and
libboost-regex-dev 1.33.1-10 and bingo the Makefile is created with
./configure (and QTDIR=/usr)
Now I have to make a twinkle .deb ...
Thanks again.
