[Boost-users] packaging boost-1.37.0 for "LTIB"?

3 Jan 2009

      i want to package the latest version of boost for the LTIB software
package so, to make a long story short, here's the RPM packaging spec
file for an older version:

=========================== cut here ============================
%define pfx /opt/freescale/rootfs/%{_target_cpu}
%define __unzip unzip -a

Summary         : c++ libraries
Name            : boost
Version         : 1.31.0
Release         : 1
Vendor          : Freescale
Packager        : Stuart Hughes
Group           : System Environment/Libraries
Source          : %{name}_1_31_0.tar.bz2
Patch0          : boost-1.31.0-regex-patch-20040503.zip
License         : Boost (distributable)
BuildRoot       : %{_tmppath}/%{name}

%Description
%{summary}

%Prep
%setup -n %{name}_1_31_0
cd $RPM_BUILD_DIR/%{name}_1_31_0/boost/regex/v4
%{__unzip} -o $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/boost-1.31.0-regex-patch-20040503.zip

%Build

%Install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{pfx}/%{_prefix}
(cd tools/build/jam_src && ./build.sh)
BJAM=`find tools/build/jam_src/ -name bjam -a -type f`
PYTHON_VERSION=`python -V 2>&1 |sed 's,.* \([0-9]\.[0-9]\)\(\.[0-9]\)\?.*,\1,'`
PYTHON_FLAGS="-sPYTHON_ROOT=%{_prefix} -sPYTHON_VERSION=$PYTHON_VERSION"
$BJAM $PYTHON_FLAGS -sTOOLS=gcc -sBUILD="debug release" --prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{pfx} %{_prefix} install

%Clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

%Files
%defattr(-,root,root)
%{pfx}/*
==================== cut here =================

  so, a couple short questions that might save me some time before i
dig into the source:

1) does 1.37.0 still require a "regex" patch?  apparently, the patch
mentioned above was to address some regex issues identified after
1.31.0 was released?  i'm ready to assume that anything that
significant has been resolved since then.

2) i'm also assuming that JAM is required for that final packaging
step so that part of the spec file is still relevant.

  in other words, other than dropping the regex patch and updating the
version number, does the above spec file look about right for 1.37.0?
i'm about to give it a try.  thanks.
