#15334: important boost 1.35 bugfixes, updates, and variants -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: andrew@fernandes.org | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: boost -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Changes (by ono@java.pl): * status: closed => reopened * resolution: fixed => Comment: I'm sorry but this patch is really nasty, I just upgraded my ports and updated them and now boost builds for '''AGES (40 min)''' because of "By default, a 'complete' build of boost is requested (via 'patch-build-type- Jamroot')" and boost installation take '''750MB''' on the disk! If we really need 'complete' Boost please move it to some 'complete' variant ASAP. Boost is dependency for many packages, but they don't need whole set of complete boost build in order to run, but just single dynamic MT. All other MacPorts libraries such as glibc2 or gtk2 are just single build type (dynamic MT). I have quite new MBP with big disk, but what about old MacBook PPC users... it will take days to compile their boost now and for sure 750MB for single MacPorts package will be too much. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15334#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
