Building with external boost is supported by build system, but it does not work (yet).
(In reply to comment #0) > Building with external boost is supported by build system, but it does not work > (yet). > That (building with external boost<1.44) is fixed in git (git clone git://gitorious.org/bombono-dvd/bombono-dvd.git), see last patch. Also you need to add CPPFLAGS option to scons as follows: scons CPPFLAGS='-UBOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED' Ilya Murav'jov
Andreas, I doubt, why people (packagers to be more precisely) all want to build with external boost? I ask because 1) I don't understand how that feature attracts you and 2) that feature makes my life harder a little. :)

This is the best documentation about the background that I could find. http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2009/01/02/bundling-libraries-for-despair-and-insecurity As you have seen, the bundling is not preventing me from adding bombono, but I'll try to get it build with system boost. Just cloning your repo... Thanks for your help! Andreas
Patch and flags added, works perfectly. Thanks a lot!
Ok, let it be ... but why (on earth) even such bleeding edge distro like Gentoo has boost version 1.42 only? :) The current version is 1.44 though, and it is 3 month old. Ok, you don't need to answer, just a note.
