#23667: boost 1.42 still fails with variants +openmpi -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: a.zilian@… | Owner: nox@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: | Port: boost -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Changes (by adfernandes@…): * cc: adfernandes@… (added) Comment: I have exactly the same problem when installing a combined `+python26 +openmpi` variant. I've rolled a patch that is basically the one described above - namely, the debug libraries are not built unless requested (in which case the python variant build will fail). Clearly, this is a bug in `boost.python` and it rings a bell as something I've seen before and posted to the `boost` mailing lists about before. (I really hate `jam` as a build tool...) My guess is that few, if any, users use the `boost` debugging libraries as you really need to be a core developer to hack the internals of `boost`... so although I don't like it, my recommendation would be to make the `debug` variant optional, and (perhaps) make the python and debug variants conflicting. Patch attached. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23667#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
