#19977: Configure of mkvtoolnix fails under boost 1.39 -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: gbooker@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- I don't know whether this is the fault of mkvtoolnix or boost, but I suspect the latter. When I was upgrading ports, mkvtoolnix failed to configure with the following error: {{{ ... checking for magic_open in -lmagic... no checking for boostlib >= 1.32.0... yes checking whether the Boost::Regex library is available... yes checking for main in -lboost_regex-mt... no checking for main in -lboost_regex-boost_regex-mt... no configure: error: Could not link against boost_regex-boost_regex-mt ! }}} I saw that i had libboost_regex-xgcc40-mt-boost_regex-mt in /opt/local/lib, but not libboost_regex-mt-boost_regex-mt (minus the xgcc40). I created a symlink, and now mkvtools builds just fine. Should boost be creating a symlink or should mkvtoolnix have a smarter configure? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19977> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
