building master with boost
Hi, to check if some "front-porting" is working, I tried to compile on the master branch - for the first time. It told me that boost is missing: checking for boostlib >= 1.48.0... configure: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.48 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option. If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in . See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation. configure: error: Boost 1.48.0 or later was not found and is required to build GnuCash So I downloaded Boost 1.56.0 into "/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0". Running configure with an environment variable echo $BOOST_ROOT -> /opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0 does not change anything. Running configure with --with-boost "/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0" results in: checking build system type... Invalid configuration `/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0': machine `/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0' not recognized configure: error: /bin/bash ../config.sub /opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0 failed What can I do?

Read http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/index.html. Study macros/m4_ax_boost_base.m4 to see what causes that error message and what configure is looking for, then make sure that you installed boost in a way that it finds it. Did you build boost or just untar it in that directory? Regards, John Ralls ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

Would --with-boost="/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0" work ? It seems to me there should be an "=" sign after the option.
