Hello fellow easybuilders,

I need to build Boost 1.59.0 with the intel-2016b as a dependency for MySQL 5.7.17 client which requires this specific version of Boost. I modified the Boost-1.59.0-intel-2016a-Python-2.7.11.eb for the new toolchain version but the build fails because the lib/libboost_python.so file is missing. Looking into the log it looks like it cannot find the interpreter:

warning: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration
note: failed.  See http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html
note: for configuration instructions or pass --without-python to
note: suppress this message and silently skip all Boost.Python targets

The weird thing is that the same Boost version installed correctly for foss-2016b and Boost 1.63.0 with intel-2016b also compiled fine.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Attached you can find the log.

I tried the same thing you tried (modify the Boost-1.59.0-intel-2016a-Python-2.7.11.eb to use intel/2016b and Python 2.7.12), and it worked fine for me.

So, my first suspicion would be that there's something wrong with your Python installation, although I'm not sure what.

The "component configuration" in the output of the build step says "python: not building", there must be a log file of some kind to point out how it came to that conclusion?


regards,

Kenneth


Thanks!
