Re: [sage-devel] Boost in sage: proper inclusion?

2012-05-28 Thread Volker Braun
I just tried to build the newest polymake (2.12.rc3) and it doesn't compile because it uses some bit of boost that is not in our cropped boost. It has a configure switch to specify a particular boost, but since it also uses gmp/mpfr it still picks up our cropped boost. And the cropped boost is n

[sage-devel] Boost in sage: proper inclusion?

2012-05-18 Thread Julien Puydt
Hi, I raise the question of boost in sage because : (1) of the recent "PolyBoRi requires boost library" thread on this mailing-list ; (2) because sage 5.0 has a boost_cropped spkg, whose SPKG.txt says it was obtained by taking the sources out of polybori's, which means : (i) it wasn't a proper p
