#29779 closed defect (duplicate)

libtorrent-rasterbar @0.15.6 Configuration error - build failure

Reported by: tanks4dat@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: Cc: dbevans (David B. Evans)
Port: libtorrent-rasterbar

Description

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... y
es
: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.
