Good day, who among you here have used Boost? Im trying to compile boost for linux but it keeps failing. anyone aware of boosts dependencies? thanks |

By Boost, do you mean C++ Boost? If so, the easiest way to build Boost is to use BJam. Download it from boost.org and save it into your Boost install directory. Then just run: ./bjam install. Headers and lib files will be installed in /usr/local. More info here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/index.html. thanks for the answer. yeah i recompiled boost and ran bjam but to no avail. ive taken another path to make things work. |
Hi. Can you share more error messages during compile? Any extra ./configure parameters you added perhaps?
yeah sorry bout that. ive traced the error that my current boost version has a but for a 64-bit Fedora 11 release. I abandoned the thought and might just switch to Ubuntu which has the more recent version of boost in their apt
it would be best to download the latest version from boost.org. most distros, including ubuntu, are several versions late.
