Hi, I realized ncbi-tools++ complained that I do NOT have a Boost.Test suite installed. Seems indeed not, the ebuild would have to pass --with-test to configure. https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_64_0/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/adv_scenarios/build_utf.html Should one expect this to be hidden under USE=tools or USE=test? Well, I recompiled boost and boost_build with both and it did not help. See dev-libs/boost/metadata.xml An example of configure output from sci-biology/blast+-2.6.0::science: configure: WARNING: Untested Boost version; may prove incompatible. configure: WARNING: If so, please re-run this script with the flag --without-boost. checking for Boost library name tag... -mt (autodetected) checking for Boost.Regex in /usr... yes checking for Boost.Spirit in /usr... yes
