I know it's only our own fault for being on Windows but the "Rev 4382: *) Switch over to FP_LIB_TABLE::Footprint*() functions" commit introduces the need for the Microsoft assembler, MASM to be installed to be able to build Boost.
It's the context library that brings in this dependency. The only reason it's awkward is because there's no way I can redistribute or package it, and the only way of getting it is through Microsoft's website as a setup.exe package via confirmation links. i.e. we can't just use a fixed URL to download it anyway as far as I'm aware. We could try to use the patch here: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7262 but it's against an older version and will bit rot. The boost guys don't seem to be at all bothered and don't see it as an issue. I don't know if there are other ways around the problem? I'm just working on the openssl cmake patch so we can build it ourselves using cmake, thus cutting out the perl dependency. Best Regards, Brian.
