Boost GCC requirement
I'm wondering how the GCC 4.5 requirement was determined for the latest
boost pkg.
I'm guessing it came from here:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/log/doc/html/log/installation.html
This page indicates that it was tested with GCC 4.5, but may work with
older compilers. In fact, it seems to work fine with GCC 4.4.7, which
is the default compiler for CentOS 6.5.
Since the GCC 4.5 pkg does not build on CentOS 6.5, this requirement
prevents boost from building as well. I changed the requirement in
meta-pkgs/boost/Makefile.common to the following as a work-around:
# GCC 4.5 or later is required to build, and GCC 4.5 is not provided for
OpenBSD
.if ${OPSYS} == "OpenBSD"
GCC_REQD+= 4.6
.elif ${OPSYS} == "Linux"
GCC_REQD+= 4.4
.else
GCC_REQD+= 4.5
.endif
Any objections to importing this change or a similar one?
Regards,
Jason
