Description Alex Turbov 2012-08-26 02:02:49 UTC

boost-1.50.0-r2 doesn't use eselec-boost anymore, but schroot's configure.ac works only if boost installed w/ a system layout option or if eselect-boost provides a set of symlinks to simulate it... now there is no eselect-boost and no short symlinks to libboost-xxx.so (as well as /usr/include/boost symlink)... it is why configuration script unable to detect boost header files and libraries at all...


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure u have boost-1.50.0-r2 installed as the only version
2. make sure there is no eselect-boost symlinks (or even eselect-boost is not installed)
3. try to install schroot
Actual Results:  
configuration script failed to find a boost headers (at first). even if you'll try to cheat it by adding a symlink /usr/include/boost --> /usr/include/boost_1_50/boost it would fail later on libraries detection...

quick fix for configure

upstream configure.ac is simple (naive) when detect boost, so easy way (w/o serious redesign configure.ac) is to use supposed by Tiziano Müller method (http://marc.info/?l=gentoo-dev&m=134580187015362&w=1) and patch CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS before configure package...

Okay this should be obsolete now since eselect boost is dead.
