[boost] [TR1] can't compile with Boost installed in /usr/include (and with Boost.Test)

29 Dec 2008

      Fedora rawhide recently bumped the boost version from 1.34 to 1.37 so I gave
it a try.  I can't compile the code below:

[ling@fedora-vm test]$ cat t.cpp
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
#include <memory>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(dummy)

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(foo) {
  std::tr1::shared_ptr<int> bar;
}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()

[ling@fedora-vm test]$ g++ -I /usr/include/boost/tr1/tr1 -I /usr/include -c
t.cpp

Defining BOOST_TR1_DISABLE_INCLUDE_NEXT helps to reduce the two errors to
one,

[ling@fedora-vm test]$ g++ -DBOOST_TR1_DISABLE_INCLUDE_NEXT -I
/usr/include/boost/tr1/tr1 -I /usr/include -c t.cpp

                 from /usr/include/boost/config/select_stdlib_config.hpp:20,
                 from /usr/include/boost/config.hpp:40,
                 from /usr/include/boost/test/detail/config.hpp:19,
                 from /usr/include/boost/test/utils/class_properties.hpp:20,
                 from /usr/include/boost/test/predicate_result.hpp:19,
                 from /usr/include/boost/test/test_tools.hpp:19,
                 from /usr/include/boost/test/unit_test.hpp:19,
                 from t.cpp:1:
/usr/include/boost/tr1/detail/config.hpp:25:29: error: no include path in
which to search for utility

I also have a local copy of Boost 1.37 at ~/include/boost, and I have no
problems with that:

[ling@fedora-vm test]$ g++ -I ~/include/boost/boost/tr1/tr1 -I
~/include/boost -c t.cpp

Do you know what I am missing here? Thanks in advance for any tips.
