boost not building cleanly.

[scottmc]

The .bep file for boost does not yet build boost cleanly. Probably a better patch will be needed for it.

[michaelvoliveira]

still not error free for Haikuporter, but it's better than actual

[michaelvoliveira]

a better patch, better than actual

[michaelvoliveira]

Initial .bep file. Builds with same problems of previous versions...

[michaelvoliveira]

Improved patch from 1.42 version. Don't need High Precision Clock hack anymore

the bep and patch files should be working.
I marked the bep file as stable, even it didnt build successully, complaining that it needs libiconv od icu to be able to build boost.locale . It's strange that before i wrote the patch, i could build boost manually, and it indeed didnt find icu too, but it found libiconv instead and it could build boost.locale, and I saw the final message "boost built successfully".
So my conclusion is, that this patch and bep will work, or in worst case, they will need a little adjustment.
So it can be safely added. One can test it too, but it will need perhaps a long time to build, depending how fast your cpu is.

[cipri]

ok, I just tested it. It build fine now boost.locale too (using libiconv).
If you want to build boost, you need to install boehm-gc first.
As far as I can say, I think it's a full/complete port of boost.
Perhaps it can be improved, building it with icu, and with mpi.

I was building boost on one of the latest gcc2h nighlies with gcc-4.6.2, so I dont know if on A3 it works the same.
Perhaps somebody can test it, and (if necessary improve that port), and the adding it as an optional package,
since soom people need it, and build yourself boost takes simply too much (at least on my machine).

[cipri]

seems i was to optimistic. I updated the bep file, and also set it for now to "broken".
It builds boost fine (as far as I can say), but without building it with "mpi" support, because we didn't port so far for example  openmpi
The problem appear when creading a package with the option -d . It copyies the files in the "distro folder", but it doesnt build the package, zip file, because it says that a file is missing (here i dont know what exactly it means, i guess it wants to install library mpi too. Perhpas replaceing "--wihout-mpi" with "--without-librabries=mpi" could help).
Or trying to port to port openmpi and build boost with mpi support too.

Perhaps somebody with a faster computer wants to try fixing this bep file, for me the building times are too much, and i dont have time anymore.
I guess not much is missing and we have finally the latest boost with all features (except mpi).

[cipri]

Seems, the last minor changes that i did in the last bep file, solved the problem. A package was successfully build with the option -c -d .
So i change the bep file back to "stable" from brocken.

[cipri]

stable and working, please test.

[cipri]

I uploaded the package on haikuware if you want to try it  boost-1.50.0

Perhaps somebody can prepare an optional package, for A4.
And porting openmi would be nice too, but I dont want to do it myself. :P

The bep file needs a little update, the license is not MIT but "new bsd license".
and the copy-right section needs to be more extensive.

[scottmc]

Added 1.50.0 is r2027. Too late to get into Haiku R1/Alpha4, but we could probably add this shortly after that is released.
