Hi Tom, I started with a clean build directory and after cmake finishes without errors I get: oz9aec@romit ~/sdr/gnuradio/v3.6.3-146-ga54dc5ba/build $ cat CMakeCache.txt | grep ENABLE_BAD_BOOST ENABLE_BAD_BOOST:BOOL=OFF oz9aec@romit ~/sdr/gnuradio/v3.6.3-146-ga54dc5ba/build $ cat CMakeCache.txt | grep "Boost_VERSION" Boost_VERSION:INTERNAL=104601 Alex _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
