Boost in [extra] has been out-of-date since 1830 (and marked as such) and even though I mailed the maintainer two weeks ago no update happened. Here is my updated PKGBUILD for 1.41.0 which is actually a bit neater than before since no silly patches are required anymore. I'm currently running this package and see no trouble. Please use this to update boost in [extra] :). -- Sven-Hendrik # $Id: PKGBUILD 47703 2009-07-25 14:37:19Z giovanni $ # Maintainer: kevin # TU: Kritoke # Contributor: Luca Roccia # Contributor: Sven-Hendrik Haase pkgname=boost pkgver=1.41.0 _boostver=${pkgver//./_} pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries." arch=(i686 x86_64) url="http://www.boost.org/" depends=('python>=2.5' 'bzip2' 'zlib') source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/${pkgname}/${pkgname}_${_boostver}.tar.bz2) license=('custom') options=(!ccache) md5sums=('8bb65e133907db727a2a825c5400d0a6') build() { cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}_${_boostver} #export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fno-strict-aliasing" #export CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -fno-strict-aliasing" # build bjam cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}_${_boostver}/tools/jam/src ./build.sh cc || return 1 _bindir="bin.linuxx86" [ "${CARCH}" = "x86_64" ] && _bindir="bin.linuxx86_64" install -m755 -d ${pkgdir}/usr/bin install -m755 ${_bindir}/bjam ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/bjam || return 1 # build bcp cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}_${_boostver}/tools/bcp ../jam/src/${_bindir}/bjam || return 1 install -m755 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}_${_boostver}/dist/bin/bcp \ ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/bcp || return 1 # build libs cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}_${_boostver} # default "minimal" install: "release link=shared,static # runtime-link=shared threading=multi" # --layout=tagged will add the "-mt" suffix for multithreaded libraries # and installs includes in /usr/include/boost. # --layout=system no longer adds the -mt suffix for multi-threaded libs. ./tools/jam/src/${_bindir}/bjam \ release debug-symbols=off threading=single,multi \ runtime-link=shared link=shared,static \ cflags=-fno-strict-aliasing \ --prefix=${pkgdir}/usr \ -sPYTHON_ROOT=/usr \ -sPYTHON_VERSION=2.6 \ -sTOOLS=gcc \ --layout=tagged \ install || return 1 # --with-wave install || return 1 # -d2 <- debug cflags=-fno-strict-aliasing \ # build pyste cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}_${_boostver}/libs/python/pyste/install python setup.py install --root=${pkgdir} || return 1 # license install -m755 -d ${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname} install -m644 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}_${_boostver}/LICENSE_1_0.txt \ ${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/ || return 1 }
