Missing boost_locale on a build for Haiku about locale HOT 5 CLOSED

From the given information I can't tell. I'd need the full build output. I'd assume it found neither ICU nor Iconv which would skip the build with a message:

Or some of the other requirement isn't met

from locale.

Including the full build output, one thing I noticed in the start now is: Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... not found.
I can't find the mentioned ECHO line in the build though.

build_log.txt

EDIT This is with ICU 70.1.2 and Iconv 1.17.3

from locale.

Yes it looks like it found iconv and ICU:

    - iconv (separate)         : yes [3]
    - icu                      : yes [3]

However it seems it didn't detect that the std library supports <type_traits> and even support for static_assert:

    - cxx11_static_assert      : no [2]
    - cxx11_hdr_type_traits    : no [2]

Checking the Boost.Config sources this is influenced by #if (BOOST_LIBSTDCXX_VERSION < 50100) || !defined(BOOST_LIBSTDCXX11) which has __cplusplus >= 201103 for the latter

Both should be correctly set so I can't tell what in your setup causes the issue.

You can try invoking something like ./b2 -d+2 -a libs/config/checks//cxx11_hdr_type_traits in that boost tree to to show the command executed for that check. Maybe with additional b2-args if you pass any in your setup.
Edit: Actually the commands invoked and potential error messages should be in bin.v2/config.log Search for cxx11_hdr_type_traits and cxx11_static_assert

Note that the issue isn't specifically with Boost.Locale as indicated by many "C++03 support is deprecated..." messages

from locale.

The open PR to update our boost is linked above (it contains the recipe for the build and the patches I've added).
Some of the patches have been around for a while and have been updated to the newer release.

A major part I reworked (as that part changed in the source) to get the build started was here:

Seeing you mention gcc being a part of it (already did a new port for ICU73.2 to check also), it could very well be that I made a mistake here.
boost1.70 still builds OK with gcc13, so somehow some detection is off here on our side.

Edit: Actually the commands invoked and potential error messages should be in bin.v2/config.log Search for cxx11_hdr_type_traits and cxx11_static_assert

Looing in there I don't see anything special:

...found 1 target...
...found 1 target...
...updating 1 target...
config-cache.write bin.v2/project-cache.jam
...updated 1 target...

In that directory there is project-cache.jam wich contains:

  set "cxx11_static_assert-<deduced-address-model>64-<deduced-architecture>x86-<inlining>on-<threading>multi-<toolset-gcc:version>13-<toolset>gcc-<variant>release-<visibility>hidden" : "false" ;
...
  set "cxx11_hdr_type_traits-<deduced-address-model>64-<deduced-architecture>x86-<inlining>on-<threading>multi-<toolset-gcc:version>13-<toolset>gcc-<variant>release-<visibility>hidden" : "false" ;

EDIT: after running that command you supplied earlier I'm getting a better log, attatching it here

config.log.txt

EDIT2: after hunting down found these functions are disabled in boost/config/platform/haiku.hpp? These havent changed over the version (looking into the files date it originates from 2014?)

EDIT3: uncommenting both lines for these functions in haiku.hpp solves the problem and even gets me a new library boost_nowide.

Yes it seems those defect macros are wrong/outdated. Boost.Locale requires C++11 since Boost 1.81 (see the changelog) as well as some other libraries which is likely why you see this (only) now.

I opened an issue for this in Boost.Config: boostorg/config#482
If you happen to know why those macros were defined (i.e. until when they were correct) please comment in that issue.

Anyway, glad you were able to find and resolved that, thanks a lot!
