Hi there, I am trying to compile boost 1.40 to start playing with the PBGL. I tried using bjam and followed the basic instructions but it fails to inspect my system and leads to: $ ./bjam install Note: Building Boost.Regex with Unicode/ICU support enabled Using ICU in /usr/include warning: Graph library does not contain optional GraphML reader. note: to enable GraphML support, set EXPAT_INCLUDE and EXPAT_LIBPATH to the note: directories containing the Expat headers and libraries, respectively. warning: Graph library does not contain MPI-based parallel components. note: to enable them, add "using mpi ;" to your user_config.jam warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam. note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam. note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message. I would think I need mpi to get PBGL working, so I decided to switch to cmake. But again it is failing: $ mkdir bin && cmake .. && make modularize && make && make install leads to: /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_report /home/mathieu/Software/boost_1_40_0_beta1/bin/CMakeFiles [ 97%] Building CXX object tools/inspect/CMakeFiles/inspect.dir/license_check.cpp.o cd /home/mathieu/Software/boost_1_40_0_beta1/bin/tools/inspect && /usr/bin/c++ -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -I/home/mathieu/Software/boost_1_40_0_beta1 -I/home/mathieu/Software/boost_1_40_0_beta1/libs/inspect/include -O3 -DNDEBUG -pthread -D_REENTRANT -o CMakeFiles/inspect.dir/license_check.cpp.o -c /home/mathieu/Software/boost_1_40_0_beta1/tools/inspect/license_check.cpp /home/mathieu/Software/boost_1_40_0_beta1/tools/inspect/license_check.cpp:8:27: error: boost/regex.hpp: No such file or directory /home/mathieu/Software/boost_1_40_0_beta1/tools/inspect/license_check.cpp:13: error: ‘regex’ in namespace ‘boost’ does not name a type /home/mathieu/Software/boost_1_40_0_beta1/tools/inspect/license_check.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void boost::inspect::license_check::inspect(const std::string&, const boost::filesystem::path&, const std::string&)’: /home/mathieu/Software/boost_1_40_0_beta1/tools/inspect/license_check.cpp:39: error: ‘regex_search’ is not a member of ‘boost’ /home/mathieu/Software/boost_1_40_0_beta1/tools/inspect/license_check.cpp:39: error: ‘license_regex’ was not declared in this scope make[2]: *** [tools/inspect/CMakeFiles/inspect.dir/license_check.cpp.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mathieu/Software/boost_1_40_0_beta1/bin' make[1]: *** [tools/inspect/CMakeFiles/inspect.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mathieu/Software/boost_1_40_0_beta1/bin' make: *** [all] Error 2 Finally I tried using boost trunk (r55688), but it leads to: [ 17%] Building CXX object libs/spirit/example/qi/CMakeFiles/spirit-calc6.dir/calc6/calc6.cpp.o /home/mathieu/Software/boost-trunk/libs/spirit/example/karma/printf_style_double_format.cpp: In member function ‘int format_policies<T>::floatfield(T) const’: /home/mathieu/Software/boost-trunk/libs/spirit/example/karma/printf_style_double_format.cpp:141: error: ‘base_type’ has not been declared /home/mathieu/Software/boost-trunk/libs/spirit/example/karma/printf_style_double_format.cpp:144: error: ‘base_type’ has not been declared /home/mathieu/Software/boost-trunk/libs/spirit/example/karma/printf_style_double_format.cpp: In member function ‘bool format_policies<T>::exponent(OutputIterator&, long int) const’: /home/mathieu/Software/boost-trunk/libs/spirit/example/karma/printf_style_double_format.cpp:181: error: expected primary-expression before ‘,’ token /home/mathieu/Software/boost-trunk/libs/spirit/example/karma/printf_style_double_format.cpp:181: error: expected primary-expression before ‘>’ token /home/mathieu/Software/boost-trunk/libs/spirit/example/karma/printf_style_double_format.cpp:183: error: expected primary-expression before ‘,’ token /home/mathieu/Software/boost-trunk/libs/spirit/example/karma/printf_style_double_format.cpp:183: error: expected primary-expression before ‘>’ token System: Debian 5.0, gcc --version 4.3.4 Thanks for hints, -- Mathieu
