It may be the same as Dave Compton's problem, just on Linux. Hum... This isn't sounding good.
We need someone familiar with the build system to debug this. Volunteers?
This has nothing to do with build system. For whatever reason, Jamfile for the function_types library assumes there's <boost-root>/dist/bin/wave binary -- and there's no reason to assume that.
I don't know how wave is used by function_types, but requiring that wave is built and installed seems a questionable thing -- was it ever discussed, and agreed upon?
In fact, here's what Jamfile in question has:
make $(BOOST_ROOT)/libs/function_types/build/timestamps/arity_loops : preprocess_arity_loops.cpp : wave ;
so it's not even building anything the user would ever find in installed tree. I'm confused as to what's the purpose here.
Thanks for tracking this down, Volodya! Tobias, what's going on here? Can you fix it? --Beman
