Bug 222223 – sys-fs/encfs-1.4.2 is missing dependency on >=dev-libs/boost-1.34

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Emerging sys-fs/encfs-1.4.2 gives me the following error:

[...]
checking for joinable pthread attribute... PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE
checking if more special flags are required for pthreads... no
checking for cc_r... i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
checking for boostlib >= 1.33... configure: error: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.33 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option.  If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.

 * ERROR: sys-fs/encfs-1.4.2 failed.

 *               ebuild.sh, line  513:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *                      die "econf failed"
 *  The die message:
 *   econf failed

 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at '/var/log/portage/sys-fs:encfs-1.4.2:20080515-064506.log'.
 * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/encfs-1.4.2/temp/environment'.
 *

Indeed, there is no dependency on boost in the ebuild. The error message mentions boost-1.33, but the encfs homepage specifies >=boost-1.34. Adding the following dependency in DEPEND fixes the problem:

    >=dev-libs/boost-1.34
