libtorrent-rasterbar @0.15.4 configure failure

[msm@…]

while attempting to install libtorrent-rasterbar via the command sudo port -v install libtorrent-rasterbar I am presented with a configure failure. here is a portion of the output, specifically where the configure fails:

Checking for boost libraries:
checking for boostlib >= 1.36... yes

configure: error: Boost.System library not found. Try using --with-boost-system=lib

Error: The following dependencies were not installed: libtorrent-rasterbar py26-gtk libglade2 py26-notify-python libnotify
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

a solution that worked for me is to add the following line to the configure.args section of the Portfile

--with-boost-libdir="/opt/local/lib"

Please remember to fill in the Port field and to Cc the port's maintainer.

I encountered the same configuration error when attempting to compile libtorrent-rasterbar @0.15.6. I incorrectly filled a new ticket, #29779. I should have added new information to the existing ticket when there is one, rather than opening a duplicate.

while attempting to install libtorrent-rasterbar by the command sudo port install libtorrent-rasterbar the terminal presents a configure failure. Here is the portion of the output where the configure fails:

info:configure Checking for boost libraries:
:info:configure checking for boostlib >= 1.36... yes
:info:configure checking whether the Boost::System library is available...yes
:info:configure configure: error: Boost.System library not found. Try
using --with-boost-system=lib

I tried

sudo port install libtorrent-rasterbar --with-boost-system=lib

failure

Ticket #27858 documents the same problem, but the solution presented:

a solution that worked for me is to add the following line to the
configure.args section of the Portfile

--with-boost-libdir="/opt/local/lib"

did not work for me. rasterbar still fails to find the boost.system library.

Reading the libtorrent manual found at libtorrent-rasterbar-0.15.6/docs/building.html (/opt/local/var/macports/build_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org _release_ports_net_libtorrent-rasterbar/work/libtorrent-rasterbar-0.15.6/docs/building.html if you want to find it in the macports /opt filesystem) I read this

when installing boost on darwin using darwinports (the package system based on BSD ports) 
all libraries are installed to /opt/local/lib and headers are installed to /opt/local/include. 
By default the compiler will not look in these directories. You have to set the enviornment 
variables LDFLAGS and CXXFLAGS in order to make the compiler find those libs. In this 
example you'd set them like this:

export LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib
export CXXFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include

In my instance this failed.

I continue to work on a solution.

This is as far as I can get. I don't know how to fix this.

Sorry about the above mess. I made a mistake in my ticket comment. I wish there was a way to delete that. It is really ugly.

Regarding the above problem. I started fresh. I did

export LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib
export CXXFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include

Then I went to the configure.args section of the Portfile and substituted

--with-boost-libdir="/opt/local/lib"

with

--with-boost-system=lib

I then did

sudo port install libtorrent-rasterbar

and the results in the config.log was a WARNING

info:configure checking for the pthreads library -lpthreads... no
:info:configure checking whether pthreads work without any flags... yes
:info:configure checking for joinable pthread attribute... PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABL
E
:info:configure checking if more special flags are required for pthreads... -D_TH

:info:configure checking whether -lpthread fixes that... no
:info:configure checking whether -lc_r fixes that... no
:info:configure configure: WARNING: Impossible to determine how to use pthreads w
ith shared libraries

Then, information is given about the boost libraries:

:info:configure Checking for boost libraries:
:info:configure checking for boostlib >= 1.36... yes
:info:configure checking whether the Boost::System library is available... yes
:info:configure checking for exit in -llib... no
:info:configure checking for exit in -lboost_system-lib... no
:info:configure configure: error: Could not link against boost_system-lib !

So I think that configure is finding the libraries now, but it can't link to them. Is that correct or incorrect? I am stuck at this point.

[tanks4dat@…]

I am not sure if it matters but I should state that I am using gcc 4.0.
