[Bug 479180] Re: libboost1.40-dev doesn't provide pkg-config (.pc) files
Here is my first attempt at some pc files for Boost 1.40. https://dreamtrack.dnsalias.com/#20091123-Boost They seem to work on my Ubuntu 9.10. To use, extract and copy all the files to /usr/lib/pkgconfig. I hope someone will take these lame excuses for pc files and improve them. Known issues: 1. Currently only for Boost 1.40. 2. Multithreaded, static libs only. 3. Boost.Python will not link no matter what I do, so I gave up and commented it out. :( Hope this helps someone besides me. -- libboost1.40-dev doesn't provide pkg-config (.pc) files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479180 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 479180] Re: libboost1.40-dev doesn't provide pkg-config (.pc) files
** Description changed: I can't find any pkg-config files for Boost in $PKG_CONFIG_PATH. It would be great if the package maintainers could provide some. If maintainer time is a problem, I'm prepared to have a stab at making some up myself (gulp). I know this issue has been discussed now and then on the Boost mailing list (since 2005?), but it seems to me the conclusion was basically "it's up to the package maintainer". I think this is a bug rather than a feature request, apologies if I'm wrong. But it does make Boost tough to use in a crossplatform environment.
