configure script BUG? about libtorrent HOT 9 CLOSED

I'm guessing this file may need some patching to support your distro/version:

https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/blob/master/m4/ax_boost_base.m4

maybe you can play around with it and see if you can come up with a patch that fixes it.

from libtorrent.

@arvidn if you follow the link at the top of the .m4 file you'll see there is a newer version available.
@buf1024 can you substitute the .m4 with the new one and confirm that it works?

from libtorrent.

@buf1024 please let me know if the newer version fixes this for you.

from libtorrent.

@arvidn it doesn't fix the problem.

Try invoking the configure like this ./configure --with-boost=<path to boost include folder> --with-boost-libdir=<path to boost lib folder>

from libtorrent.

@sledgehammer999, I try this way many times, and It does't work too, and print the same error. I link /usr/lib64/lib64/libboostXXX to /usr/lib64/libboostXX, and generate make file using cmake, and then temporary success build libtorrent.

I wonder if you'll have better luck reporting to the autoconf's bugtracker (or whichever this macro belongs to)

from libtorrent.

@arvidn m4/ax_boost_base.m4 seems has some protention bug.

export $BOOST_ROOT, after success check it seems forget to set the varable $_version, this make boost check failed.

@sledgehammer999 ./configure --with-boost=<path to boost include folder> --with-boost-libdir=<path to boost lib folder> fails because my boost libary directory structure doesn't fit the layout in m4/ax_boost_base.m4

from libtorrent.

I guess we could close this ticked because currently we have newer boost versions as precondition anyway.
