[Boost-users] Build error

[David Doria]

I have been unable to build boost-trunk for a while now because of this error:

[ 58%] Building CXX object libs/accumulators/example/CMakeFiles/accumulators-accumulators_example.dir/main.cpp.o
/home/doriad/src/boost-trunk/boost/accumulators/statistics_fwd.hpp: In function ‘void example1()’:

Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks,

Is the problem that an example does not compile? If so, please report that via
http://svn.boost.org -- however, unless you specifically need that example
it does not seem to be showstopper.

Unrelated to that, you don't seem to be using the official build procedure
documented at:

http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html

That procedure does not builds examples for every library by default.

Volodya,

I saw that you are supposed to use the bootstrap script, but it seemed reasonable to make a bin directory, and from there run ccmake on the boost-trunk directory. There was no option in the cmake configuration to not build examples. Maybe this can be added for users who wish to use this procedure.

I got around it by just using 'make -k'. I also reported the accumulator example bug on the bug tracker.

Thanks for the quick reply,

David

Cmake is not the official build procedure documented above. The official one is:

./bootstrap.sh
./bjam

You can use --build-dir and --stagedir options (documented in "bjam --help" output)
to put intermediate and final build products outside the source tree.
