Hi all,
I found this issue when I was trying to build Boost from the
source distribution.
According to Qpid/C++ documentation (refer to INSTALL file) the
following command is supposed to build Boost libraries.
/bjam -sTOOLS=gcc --prefix=~/qpid-tools
/The generated libraries with this command have the name format
<prefix><library name>-<tooset name>-<threading tag>-<ABI
tag><version tag><extension>.
.
E.g. libboost_program_options-gcc41-mt-1_34_1.so
In Qpid build system, the Boost libs that are linked have the name
format <prefix><library name><extension>.
The remedy for this issue is twofold.
1. Use the following command instead of what is given in the
INSTALL file.
/bjam -sTOOLS=gcc --layout=system --build-type=complete
--prefix=~/qpid-tools
/This generates all possible variants of libs and hence what we
want, takes longer time to build the libs though.
2. Make use of package management tools to install Boost libs.
On Ubuntu, use the following command.
/sudo apt-get install libboost*-dev

Can you submit a patch for the INSTALL file?
Will do.
Danushka
Thanks,
Alan.
