Compilation fails on Debian 10 (libboost-1.67)

pdrobek commented at 8:32 am on January 19, 2021: none

I have tried compiling the code (0.18 and 0.19) and I get an error every time

it seems just linker error. check your dependency location.

I have followed build-unix.md for reference. Configure give me no error so i assume there is no error on my side. I also tried libboost from previous Debian (jessie), no luck.

Cannot reproduce on a clean install Debian 10 VM following the 0.18 and 0.19 branch build-unix.md instructions

Can you run grep BOOST_LIB_VERSION /usr/include/boost/version.hpp to confirm that you are using Boost 1.6.7 and it is installed in a uniform path

What happens if you go through the compile process while passing the following as the configure step: ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/include"

grep BOOST_LIB_VERSION /usr/include/boost/version.hpp

I dont know why libboost-filesystem is installed in /usr/locale/include (see line from output of make command –>/usr/local/include/boost/filesystem/operations.hpp)

@pdrobek

./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/include"

Why LDFLAGS is passed?

I left it on Debian, move to newest Ubuntu and issue is now resolved. Thank you

Sorry to jump into that closed issue but this issue has been reported on FIRO as well and the easy lazy fix i read so far is to execute:

0apt-get install libboost-all-dev

It also has been added in the FIRO documentation building for UNIX. Hope that will help anyone facing the issue in the future :)
