Hi,
Ok it's been several days and I am really struggling with this one.
I need to install mkxToolnix but in order to do that, I need to install
Boost (which I have now donew several times). MacPorts installs
Boost 1.35.0_2 but for some reason it appears that not all the
required files are installed. I get the following error when I try to
install mkvToolnix:
*** Not checking for wxWidgets: disabled by user request
checking for magic_open in -lmagic... no
checking for boostlib >= 1.20.0... yes
checking whether the Boost::Regex library is available... yes
checking for main in -lboost_regex-mt... no
checking for main in -lboost_regex-boost_regex-mt... no
configure: error: Could not link against boost_regex-boost_regex-mt !
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
I looked in the configure file and copied anything I could see to do
with
Boost.regex or just regex. Can anyone see anything in the following that
would disable the install of the required files.
# Configure ICU
echo -n "Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... "
if test "x$flag_icu" != xno; then
if test "x$ICU_ROOT" = x; then
COMMON_ICU_PATHS="/usr /usr/local /sw"
for p in $COMMON_ICU_PATHS; do
if test -r $p/include/unicode/utypes.h; then
ICU_ROOT=$p
fi
done
if test "x$ICU_ROOT" = x; then
echo "not found."
else
BJAM_CONFIG="$BJAM_CONFIG -sICU_PATH=$ICU_ROOT"
echo "$ICU_ROOT"
fi
else
BJAM_CONFIG="$BJAM_CONFIG -sICU_PATH=$ICU_ROOT"
echo "$ICU_ROOT"
fi
else
echo "disabled."
fi
and this section:
Configuration:
-h, --help display this help and exit
--with-bjam=BJAM use existing Boost.Jam executable (bjam)

--with-toolset=TOOLSET use specific Boost.Build toolset

libraries
that can be used with --with-libraries or
--without-libraries), then exit

library names or "all"

--without-icu disable Unicode/ICU support in Regex
--with-icu=DIR specify the root of the ICU library

and enable Unicode/ICU support in Regex

--with-python=PYTHON specify the Python executable [python]
--with-python-root=DIR specify the root of the Python installation
[automatically detected]
--with-python-version=X.Y specify the Python version as X.Y
[automatically detected]
As suggested by Michel I tried 'port contents boost | grep regex-mt'
but it did not find the file. However, I was not sure if that command
was searching the directories after the install or seaching sources
that will be installed.
Does anyone have any other suggestion? I only hope that installing
mpeg4ip will be less trouble.
Thanks,
Terrence

Hi Paul,
Thanks for replying. You are right the libboost_regex-mt.dylib is
not in /opt/local/lib. However it appears that Boost 1.35.0_2 is
the version installed. I have searched and found a Boost 1.36.0.
As I am not very familiar with MacPortsIs, do you know if it
possible to get MacPorts to install apps that are not in its
database.
Try 'port contents boost | grep regex-mt' to see if your boost
installation contains that file at all. Perhaps the problem is that it
was not installed properly, in which case you might want to reinstall
boost from macports.
Boost 1.36 has some API changes, I believe, so you don't want to
upgrade to it yet. It was introduced and then pulled out from Fedora
Linux's development tree, for example. If you *do* want to try it,
however, the way to do it would be to modify the Portfile that tells
MacPorts how to build Boost, so that it uses the new version instead.
See the documentation for details.
Hope that helps, and oh, by the way, you might want to bottom-quote
when posting. It's the convention, and makes it easier to follow the
conversation.
Regards,
