In Ubuntu 8.04 LTS - the latest boost suite available via
the update manager is 1.34...
~$ dpkg -l | grep boost
ii boost-build 2.0-m11-2 Build system
ii libboost-date-time-dev 1.34.1-4ubuntu3 set of date-time libraries
based on generic
ii libboost-date-time1.34.1 1.34.1-4ubuntu3 set of date-time libraries
based on generic
ii libboost-dev 1.34.1-4ubuntu3 Boost C++ Libraries
development files
... etc, etc, etc ...
~$ find /usr/include/ -name unordered_map\*|xargs ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6143 2009-02-20 13:37 /usr/include/c
++/4.2/tr1/unordered_map
Does that mean I will _NOT_ be able to compile SG/FG in my
current Ubuntu?
Ok, did CVS update, and bingo, during configure, in SG -
checking for boostlib >= 1.37.0... configure: error: etc, etc as
listed above...
SOOO, do I have to manually 'install' boost? Like boost_1_40_0.tar.gz
say, and deal with, as written on the boost web page -
'Boost.CMake is now distributed separately. The
cmake build for boost is BROKEN in the tarballs above. See the
Boost.CMake wiki page for pointers to working versions.'
Tried -
~$ sudo aptitude install libboost-all-dev
[snip]
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched
"libboost-all-dev"
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
[snip]
And
~$ sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
[snip]
E: Couldn't find package libboost-all-dev
So those did NOTHING! And as stated the Synaptic Package
Manager only list 1.34, so also does not help...
Do I, and others like me, have to now get into downloading
the later source of boost, and 'fight' to compile/install it?
Working with the BROKEN CMake as listed above???
Ok, I downloaded boost_1_40_0.tar.gz 39,253,625, unpacked
just the 'boost' folder! I am in my $HOME/fg/fg7, which I
shall call <root> here. In this 'root' I have an 'install'
directory, where I 'install' PLIB, OSG, simgear, etc...
so I can work with later versions of these than in the
distro...
So I unpacked the boost directory into -
<root>/install/boost/include
producing
<root>/install/boost/include/boost
Then by removing the SG configure.ac line -
AX_BOOST_BASE([1.37.0])
and adding -
# specify the boost location
AC_ARG_WITH(boost, [ --with-boost=PREFIX Specify the prefix path to
boost])
if test "x$with_boost" != "x" ; then
echo "boost prefix is $with_boost"
EXTRA_DIRS="${EXTRA_DIRS} $with_boost"
fi
I suppose I could have ALSO added some 'code' to check
the boost version in <boost/version.hpp>, but that
can come later...
And then doing an appropriate -
./configure --with-boost=$HOME/install/boost ...etc...
I could get SG compiled. As I understand at present
SG/FG only requires the boost headers, and none
of the compiled boost libraries...
This got SG compiled OK... but then I must do
the SAME thing in fgfs/source/configure.ac,
and maybe I can get it ALL COMPILED!!!
But am I wasting my time? Is there an EASIER
way than this? ;=()
As John Denker wrote:
Introducing additional dependencies into FGFS makes
extra work for a lot of people.
I am sorry, but here here to that ;=))
Heads up! No, tail down ;=))
Geoff.
PS: Who do I need to contact about getting
a later 'boost' into the Ubuntu distribution?
Do I contact the 'boost' or the 'Ubuntu'
developers? Or both? That is, who is normally
responsible for 'updating' a distribution?
The distro developers, or the package
developers?
And that would be a similar question concerning
updating the flightgear, fgfs-base and simgear
listed in the Ubuntu synaptic package manager
as 1.0.0!
