#49711: [cpp-netlib][0.11.2][new port] ----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: nikkoara@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Keywords: boost networking c++ | Port: cpp-netlib ----------------------------------+-------------------------------- cpp-netlib is a very useful C++ networking library that lives in the Boost ecosystem. Not yet an official Boost library but has a strong integration with the rest of it. I have preserved the official name cpp-netlib instead of prefixing a "boost-". I need advice on one issue: the default installation of boost is with +no_static. This only installs shared libraries. The default build process for cpp-netlib is creating static libraries and depends on the static boost libraries. I have chosen no to change the defaults (i.e., cpp-netlib does not have a +shared default). As a result of this if one attempts to install cpp-netlib over a default boost install it will fail and the only error is in the log file, a complaint that it cannot find the static boost libraries it needs. IMHO, the port should check if the variants are compatible but I could not find how to programmatically check the variants of another port that is already installed. I would appreciate some pointers.
