Configure of mkvtoolnix fails under boost 1.39

Reported by: gbooker@… Owned by: ruud@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.7.1
Keywords: Cc: sanchom (Sancho McCann), nox@…
Port: mkvtoolnix boost

Description

I don't know whether this is the fault of mkvtoolnix or boost, but I suspect the latter.

When I was upgrading ports, mkvtoolnix failed to configure with the following error:

...
checking for magic_open in -lmagic... no
checking for boostlib >= 1.32.0... yes
checking whether the Boost::Regex library is available... yes
checking for main in -lboost_regex-mt... no
checking for main in -lboost_regex-boost_regex-mt... no
configure: error: Could not link against boost_regex-boost_regex-mt !

I saw that i had libboost_regex-xgcc40-mt-boost_regex-mt in /opt/local/lib, but not libboost_regex-mt-boost_regex-mt (minus the xgcc40). I created a symlink, and now mkvtools builds just fine.

Should boost be creating a symlink or should mkvtoolnix have a smarter configure?

This is caused by the rename of libboost_regex-mt.dylib to libboost_regex-xgcc40-mt.dylib. Does the boost-maintainer know how this should be fixed?

I'm no longer the maintainer, but we used to create symlinks named like "libboost_regex-mt.dylib" that pointed to the compiler-version-named instances of the libraries. I'd suggest to continue doing this.

Ccing boost's maintainer. This is similar to #20001.

I removed my symlinks and tried boost 1.39.0_2. This can be closed as fixed now. Thanks.
