Re: scons building with BOOST

 

Hi Shawn,

The file scons/simula_scons.log should give you some hints about what went
wrong when generating the Boost pkg-config files. You can also try to run
the pkg-config generators directly and see what happens. First set the
BOOST_DIR variable and then run

  python
scons/simula-scons/simula_scons/pkgconfiggenerators/boost_filesystem.py

What is the output of this command? It should generate a file
boost_filesystem.pc in the current directory if successful. Also try to
run boost.py and boost_program_options.py in the same folder. There is no
need to create symbolic links when using the --layout=system option.
