Bugzilla Bug 2851

From the boost.org homepage:
"The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
 The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library."

This ebuild was a little bit tricky 'cause boost uses his own build tool (jam)
instead of "./configure && make && make install".

The ebuild is "sandbox-safe" and should go into dev-libs.

boost-1.28.0.tgz contains:
  boost-1.28.0.ebuild, ChangeLog, files/digest-boost-1.28.0

Will get to this.

2) Please use dohtml -r to install the HTML documentation instead of the
for-loop with finds.

3) Set a SLOT "1"

4) Your header should look like:

Once you have iterated over these, simply reopen the bug :) Thanks for bothering.

ad 1) works here (maybe sourceforge was down?)
ad 2) done (didn't know that dohtml is that powerful)
ad 3) done (btw: skel.ebuild should have a SLOT var)
ad 4) done

Not dead yet. This ebuild has been postponed as it is selected to be run
through
our new ebuild submission system. I've run it through a few times, and it
produces various errors; we need help with how well the reported error messages
are and how well the ebuild submission system works in general.

It will take another few days before I can give you more details, as we need to
plug the submission system into bugzilla. 

I cannot get Boost to build with gcc 3.2, which is the default compiler for
Gentoo 1.4 (soon to be released):

...using newstr.o...
...using option.o...
...using parse.o...

Any ideas ?

I can't reproduce this error with gcc-3.1-r7

Do you have any errors while jamgram.h gets created?
Look for the output right at the beginning:

Cc bin.linuxx86/pathunix.o
MyChmod1 jamgram.y
GenFile1 jamgram.y jamgramtab.h
Yacc1 jamgram.c jamgram.h
YaccMv jamgram.c jamgram.h
Cc bin.linuxx86/jamgram.o

(As my time allows, I'll set up a new 1.4(_beta) system this weekend and will
try to reproduce this error)

Worked fine for me on freshly installed Gentoo 1.4 with gcc-3.2-r1
(-march=athlon-tbird -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe).

Fixed. Available for testing as dev-libs/boost-1.28
