Hi all.
I am trying to compile Ghost++, a Warcraft 3 dedicated server program and one of it's dependency is Boost. The following is the instruction on how to compile Boost from the Ghost++ documentation (a.k.a. the readme file):
-------------------------------- You'll need Boost version 1.38.0 (or potentially any newer versions). If your package manager has this version available please use it instead of installing it manually. To install Boost manually:
7. Download and extract Boost 1.38.0 from http://www.boost.org/ 8. su to root. 9. ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-libraries=date_time,thread,system,filesystem,regex 10. Edit the newly created Makefile with your favourite text editor. The second line should be "BJAM_CONFIG=". Replace it with "BJAM_CONFIG= --layout=system". 11. make install --------------------------------
Unfortunately you have removed the ./confiigure and make and replaced them with new commands: bootstrap & bjam.
I just downloaded the boost 1.38.0 release from SourceForge, and the configure script is there. It's not there in 1.39 because, as you say, it was removed - but that shouldn't be a problem for you, since Ghost++ requires 1.38. -- Marshall
