luabind build log

Current luabind fails with the attach build log error with dev-libs/boost-1.62.0-r1 which is currently under review for stable marking per bug #590244. The last release I see was 2010 

https://github.com/luabind/luabind/releases

There are currently two forks:

https://github.com/rpavlik/luabind
https://github.com/halmd-org/luaponte

Which could potentially be utilized but it seems to be avoiding the inevitable. The lua user wiki also lists it as unmaintained save the forks:

http://lua-users.org/wiki/BindingCodeToLua

It also lists a decent number of alternative C++ bindings

games-rpg/valyriatear-1.0.0

Is the only package in the tree that depends on it. There is a config to use a bundled luabind but that fails in similar ways. I'd file a bug for retiring valyriatear separately but if the fork route is chosen then it would become unnecessary since it uses the system luabind.

Comment 1 Azamat H. Hackimov 2016-12-26 09:30:17 UTC

games-rpg/valyriatear switched to own forked and patched internal luabind, where compilation against recent versions of boost has been fixed.

Currently there no recent tarballs yet since 1.0.0 to use it.
