Problems Building Boost 1.33.1 on Ubuntu 5.10 x86 From Scratch
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. 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 My /usr/local/boost-1.33.1 is owned by me and writeable. Any suggestions ? Thanks. The truncated bjam output is : Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled. Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information (and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it). --------------------------------------------------------------------- *** If you don't need Boost.Python, you can ignore this section *** *** pass --without-python to suppress this message in the future *** skipping Boost.Python library build due to missing or incorrect configuration couldn't find Python.h in "/usr/include/python2.4" You can configure the location of your python installation by setting: PYTHON_VERSION - The 2-part python Major.Minor version number (e.g. "2.2", NOT "2.2.1") - currently "2.4" PYTHON_ROOT - currently "/usr" The following are automatically configured from PYTHON_ROOT if not otherwise set: PYTHON_LIB_PATH - path to Python library object; currently "/usr/lib/python2.4/config" PYTHON_INCLUDES - path to Python #include directories; currently "/usr/include/python2.4" --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamfile:278: in load-jamfiles *** argument error * rule stage ( name : sources + : requirements * : local-build * ) * called with: ( : /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/boost/compatibility/cpp_c_headers/cwchar /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/boost/compatibility/cpp_c_headers/csignal /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/boost/compatibility/cpp_c_headers/climits /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/boost/compatibility/cpp_c_headers/cfloat /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/b <<<< middle truncated >>>>>> r_traits.hpp /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/boost/pending/bucket_sorter.hpp /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/boost/pending/fibonacci_heap.hpp /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/boost/pending/iterator_tests.hpp /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/boost/pending/detail/int_iterator.hpp /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/boost/pending/detail/property.hpp /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/boost/pending/detail/disjoint_sets.hpp : <locate>/usr/local <tree-subdirs>/home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1 <target>install : ) * missing argument name /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/tools/build/v1/boost-base.jam:2330:see definition of rule 'stage' being called /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/tools/build/v1/bootstrap.jam:21: in boost-build /home/lawrence/boost_1_33_1/boost-build.jam:16: in module scope
Steve, have you posted to the Ubuntu people. cheers fred kfjethro wrote:

You can configure the location of your python installation by setting: PYTHON_VERSION - The 2-part python Major.Minor version number (e.g. "2.2", NOT "2.2.1") - currently "2.4"
PYTHON_ROOT - currently "/usr"
The following are automatically configured from PYTHON_ROOT if not otherwise set:

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
I used the same bjam command on Ubuntu 6.0.6 and 5.10 and I used the same version of bjam (3.1.13) which I downloaded as an executable from sourceforge. Is bjam 3.1.13 the latest version ? I retried my build on Ubuntu 5.10 adding the --includedir option, but there was no difference. I was able to partially build boost 1.33.0 using bjam 3.1.13 on Ubuntu 5.10 but only a few packages built. If I recall correctly the errors were compiler issues and not a failure of bjam. I don't have the output from this build but I can redo the build if the output would be useful. I'm just starting with boost, but it kind of looks like there may be a problem with the input files that are used by bjam in boost-1.33.1 on ubuntu 5.10 ? Are there anymore tests that I can run ?
