How to compiling Boost 1.41 into .deb packages?
Hi,
Because I want (actually need) the Boost package 1.41 I must compile it
myself as there is no Boost 1.41 (yet) in Debian testing (or sid). I
really want to use Debian packages for better maintenance of my
(installed) software, but I cannot get the software compiled into deb
packages.
I asked this on the Boost list but the solution they gave me there did
not work:
$ tar xvfz boost1.41.tgz
$ apt-get source libboost1.40-dev
$ mv boost1.40-1.40.0/debian boost1.41
$ cd boost1.41
$ cd debian && (replace all 1.40 occurences with 1.41)
$ dpkg-buildpackage
It stopped with errors like:
# package libboost-doc
rm -rf debian/libboost1.41-doc/usr/share/doc/libboost1.41-doc/HTML
mkdir -p debian/libboost1.41-doc/usr/share/doc/libboost1.41-doc/HTML
cat debian/documentation-files | xargs cp --parents --target-directory=debian/libboost1.41-doc/usr/share/doc/libboost1.41-doc/HTML
cp: cannot stat `doc/html/bbv2/advanced.html': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_droppabl_id549540.html': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_error_of_id551416.html': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_extended_id551963.html': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_extended_id551979.html': No such file or directory
Is there a recipe for Dummies (that's me!) that works?
TIA
