[Comment 1 Henrique Rodrigues 2009-06-12 23:38:03 UTC]

I get the same error on ARM.

[Comment 2 Marietta 2009-06-16 18:37:12 UTC]

Same error on PowerPc.

[Comment 3 Stuart Longland (RETIRED) 2009-08-09 07:01:46 UTC]

and MIPS... tested with 1.37.0-r1 and 1.39.0

I notice Debian seem to work around this issue by disabling the offending component of Boost...

[Comment 4 Stuart Longland (RETIRED) 2009-08-16 15:19:30 UTC]

I managed to get Boost to build... it seems in later versions of the library, you can opt out of building the components that require long doubles.  The following changes to the ebuild allow a working boost library to be built...

I shall upload a copy of the modified ebuild... with some suitable changes, this can cover SPARC, PowerPC and ARM too.

[Comment 5 Stuart Longland (RETIRED) 2009-08-16 15:21:06 UTC]

Created attachment 201427 [details]
boost-1.39.0.ebuild

This is the ebuild with the aforementioned patch applied. Tweak to local requirements.

[Comment 6 Dmitri Bogomolov 2009-11-24 13:15:41 UTC]

I have same problem on g/fbsd-7.2 x86 :)

[Comment 7 Sebastian Luther (few) 2009-11-25 07:59:41 UTC]

Could some please test the following two ebuilds from my overlay [1]?

=dev-libs/boost-1.39.0-r1 has long-double disabled for mips, hppa, sparc, arm and x86-fbsd
=dev-libs/boost-1.41.0 doesn't disable long-double at all

this builds on my g/fbsd-7.2

Does this mean that 1.41 doesn't build or didn't you test? If it doesn't build, does it complain about --long-double stuff or something else?

I didn't test. Maybe tomorrow i will try.

[Comment 11 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2009-12-04 17:48:01 UTC]

1.41.0 is OK for HPPA, and dependent packages all build against it.

[Comment 12 Henrique Rodrigues 2009-12-07 13:21:13 UTC]

1.41 works fine on PPC too. Very nice! :-)

sorry, I mean 1.41.0

[Comment 15 Sergey 2009-12-10 14:36:28 UTC]

1.41 works fine on sparc too.
