I know that there are probably packages available for this platform but for several reasons I need to build Boost 1.33.1 from scratch.
Sorry I missed this posting...
I have no problems with compiliing from scratch on Ubuntu 6.06.
After unpacking the source files and placing the precompiled bjam executable in the boost source directory, I run the following:
cd ./boost_1_33_1 ./bjam -sTOOLS=gcc –-prefix=/usr/local/boost-1.33.1 install
Is that sequence the same for both U5.10 and U6.06? What version of bjam (bjam -v) are you using both times? Have you tried using the latest bjam, instead of using the one that comes with the 1.33.1 archive?
My /usr/local/boost-1.33.1 is owned by me and writeable.
Any suggestions ? Thanks.
The truncated bjam output is : [...] * rule stage ( name : sources + : requirements * : local-build * ) * called with: ( : [...] * missing argument name
Well that mean that somehow it has an empty includedir value. You might want to work around it by specifying the --includedir option directly. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
