Re: building master with boost

[Carsten Rinke]

Thanks for all feedback.

Finally I managed:
- I installed the library with the help from John and Aaron
- and I also used the "=" as indicated by Geert.

-> Works all fine now :-)

So I downloaded Boost 1.56.0 into "/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0".

Running configure with an environment variable
echo $BOOST_ROOT -> /opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0
does not change anything.

Running configure with
--with-boost "/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0"
results in:
checking build system type... Invalid configuration
`/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0': machine
`/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/bash ../config.sub
/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0 failed

What can I do?

Kind regards,
Carsten

I do a similar thing, and here is what I pass to configure:

./configure --with-boost=/home/lmat/builds/development

(I trimmed out a dozen lines, but this should get to the gist of the 
matter.)


I built boost with

#!/bin/bash
cd boostsvn
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/home/lmat/builds/development
./b2 install

I don't set BOOST_ROOT. Hopefully this helps?

Would
--with-boost="/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0"
work ? It seems to me there should be an "=" sign after the option.

Read http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/index.html.

Study macros/m4_ax_boost_base.m4 to see what causes that error message and what 
configure is looking for, then make sure that you installed boost in a way that 
it finds it.

Did you build boost or just untar it in that directory?

John Ralls

building master with boost

[Carsten Rinke]

Hi,

to check if some "front-porting" is working, I tried to compile on the 
master branch - for the first time.


It told me that boost is missing:

checking for boostlib >= 1.48.0... configure: We could not detect the 
boost libraries (version 1.48 or higher). If you have a staged boost 
library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your 
environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option.  If you are 
sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in 
. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more 
documentation.
configure: error: Boost 1.48.0 or later was not found and is required to 
build GnuCash


So I downloaded Boost 1.56.0 into "/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0".

Running configure with an environment variable
echo $BOOST_ROOT -> /opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0
does not change anything.

Running configure with
--with-boost "/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0"
results in:
checking build system type... Invalid configuration 
`/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0': machine `/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0' not 
recognized

configure: error: /bin/bash ../config.sub /opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0 failed

What can I do?

Kind regards,
Carsten
