Re: [Boost-users] Building boost with a locally built g++

14 May 2012

      Hi Anthony,

I tried your approach and it worked perfectly*

Thanks:-)

* I did a slight variation in that I built local g++'s and local boosts
to go with them so didn't need to sudo.

I have two locally built g++'s and want to build boosts to go with
them.
Unfortunately I've never used jam and despite reading the docs
haven't succeeded.

Here's my incantation; hope you might find it useful.
gcc_ver=4.6.2
  boost_ver=1_48_0
gcc_pkg="gcc-$gcc_ver"
  boost_pkg="boost_$boost_ver"
gcc_dest=/usr/local/$gcc_pkg
  boost_dest=/usr/local/$boost_pkg+$gcc_pkg
# ========================================
  # build gcc
cd ~/Source
  rm -rf $gcc_pkg*
  tar xf /opt/cross/downloads/$gcc_pkg.tar.bz2
  mkdir $gcc_pkg-build
  cd $gcc_pkg-build
  ../$gcc_pkg/configure \
    --prefix=$gcc_dest \
    --with-local-prefix=$gcc_dest/local \
    --enable-languages=c,c++ \
    --enable-threads \
    --disable-multilib
make -j 8
sudo mkdir $gcc_dest
  sudo chown tony.tony $gcc_dest
  make install
( cd /usr/local ; sudo rm gcc ; sudo ln -s $gcc_pkg gcc )
# ========================================
  # build boost
cd ~/Source
  rm -rf $boost_pkg*
  tar xf /opt/cross/downloads/$boost_pkg.tar.bz2
  cd $boost_pkg
  export PATH=/usr/local/$gcc_pkg/bin:$PATH
  unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
sudo mkdir $boost_dest
  sudo chown tony.tony $boost_dest
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=$boost_dest
./bjam \
    --prefix=$boost_dest \
    --debug-configuration \
    --without-graph \
    --without-graph_parallel \
    --without-math \
    --without-mpi \
    --without-python \
    --without-serialization \

    -j8 \
    link=shared \
    threading=multi \
    runtime-link=shared \
    toolset=gcc cxxflags=-std=gnu++0x \
    install
( cd /usr/local ; sudo rm boost ; sudo ln -s $boost_pkg+$gcc_pkg
boost )
