I also fall into this issue. Boost 1.51 archive has extra dot in begining of paths. Buildroot extracts archive with "strip-components=1" tar argument. For boost 1.51 it strips first dot ".", which is equal to strip nothing. $ tar -tf boost_1_50_0.tar.bz2 |head -5 boost_1_50_0/ boost_1_50_0/boost/ boost_1_50_0/boost/accumulators/ boost_1_50_0/boost/accumulators/accumulators.hpp boost_1_50_0/boost/accumulators/accumulators_fwd.hpp $ tar -tf boost_1_51_0.tar.bz2 |head -5 ./ ./boost_1_51_0/ ./boost_1_51_0/boost/ ./boost_1_51_0/boost/accumulators/ ./boost_1_51_0/boost/accumulators/accumulators.hpp Probably, it is too late to reroll official archive, but I'm sure it must be fixed in next releases. May be 1.51.1 should be released for this? :) On Fri, Aug 31, 2012 at 04:39:03PM +0100, Aras Vaichas wrote:

Sorry for the cross-posting, but I'm not sure where to put this.

There is a slight difference between the 1.51.0 and 1.50.0 boost bz2 files.

e.g. \boost_1_50_0.tar.bz2\boost_1_50_0.tar\boost_1_50_0\ \boost_1_51_0.tar.bz2\boost_1_51_0.tar\.\boost_1_51_0\

I went looking for this because I updated the Boost version to 1.51.0 in Buildroot and it failed to find the bootstrap.sh file because it wasn't in the expected directory.

e.g. /opt/br/output/build$ find -name "bootstrap.sh" ./boost-1.51.0/boost_1_51_0/tools/build/v2/bootstrap.sh ./boost-1.51.0/boost_1_51_0/bootstrap.sh ./boost-1.50.0/tools/build/v2/bootstrap.sh ./boost-1.50.0/bootstrap.sh

Buildroot fails to find the boostrap.sh file and the build fails.

When I tried to untar it manually I got an error.

$ tar xjf boost_1_51_0.tar.bz2 tar: .: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted tar: .: Cannot change mode to rwxr-xr-t: Operation not permitted tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

1.50.0 does not have this problem.
