Boost on Solaris 8
by cswiger 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

Hi - I need the boost libraries for gnuradio, which I'm trying to install on Solaris 8. Are there any prebuilt packages, or step-by-step detailed instructions for Sol8? I made a stab at it but got horribly lost, can post gory detail if necessary. Just curious if there is a simple solution first. TIA --Chuck

Building libraries on Mac with CodeWarrior 9?
by Jane Lin 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

Hello, I haven't been able to find an answer in the archives. I had no problems building boost using bjam for the darwin (gcc) toolset, but have had no luck with CodeWarrior. I posted to the jamboost list, but received no response, so I'm hoping this is the right list! I have: CW 9.2 OS X 10.3.5 boost_1_31_0 boost-build boost-jam-3.1.10-1-macosxppc When I call bjam from the command line, both cwpro9 and cw toolsets (cw-tools.jam downloaded from CVS) result in the same errors: all the codewarrior jam files use -warn when the option should be -warnings, and there is no keyword "nounusedexpr". I edited one of the jam files to change -warn to -warnings and commented out nounusedexpr, but then greg_month.o doesn't get built and subsequently none of the libraries: Error : Nothing to do: no source or object files specified Then I tried a suggestion I saw in the archives - created an empty project for a static library in CodeWarrior and added the files in /boost_1_31_0/libs/regex/src/. This worked fine for the regex library (had to add the boost_1_31_0 path to the access paths in the project settings), but I am getting errors when I do the same for the filesystem library: Error : undefined identifier 'ETXTBSY' exception.cpp line 126 { ETXTBSY, fs::busy_error }, Error : undefined identifier 'lstat' operations_posix_windows.cpp line 318 return ::lstat( ph.native_file_string().c_str( Error : undefined identifier 'S_ISLNK' operations_posix_windows.cpp line 319 && S_ISLNK( path_stat.st_mode ); Error : undefined identifier 'ssize_t' operations_posix_windows.cpp line 489 ssize_t sz; Error : undefined identifier 'sz' operations_posix_windows.cpp line 490 while ( (sz = ::read( infile, buf.get(), bu Error : undefined identifier 'sz' operations_posix_windows.cpp line 491 && (sz = ::write( outfile, buf.get(), Error : undefined identifier 'sz' operations_posix_windows.cpp line 496 if ( sz != 0 ) Error : undefined identifier 'pathconf' operations_posix_windows.cpp line 509 long path_max = ::pathconf( ".", _PC_PATH_MAX ); Is there something else I need to include or define? Thanks a lot! Jane

statically linking to Boost.Threads with OSX (darwin)
by Simmons, Aaron 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

I've built and installed boost on a Mac OSX system (with the 'darwin' toolset). I would like to use static linking. However, the installer is only building the .dylib version of libboost_thread and not the .a version. I thought only Win32 was forced to use dynamic linking? Is there a similar issue on OSX? Thanks, Aaron Simmons

boost::ublas and gaussian elimination
by Mattias Brändström 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

Hello! I would like to do gaussian elimination using uBLAS. It seems that there are many of the tools needed to do gaussian elimination present but I can't actually find a solver. Is there one in uBLAS or has anyone here written one using uBLAS? Thanks in advance! Regards, Mattias

Re: printing out the full path

I think I gave up, I tried every thing and read all I can, I am not able to print out the full path for files in a given directroy, here is another try, cann't figure out whats wrong. any idea why? thanks #include "/usr/include/boost/filesystem/operations.hpp" #include "/usr/include/boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp" #include "/usr/include/boost/filesystem/path.hpp" #include <iostream> #include <string> namespace fs = boost::filesystem; int main(){ fs::path full_path( fs::initial_path() ); char* some_path = "/home/sam/"; full_path = fs::system_complete( fs::path( some_path, fs::native ) ); fs::directory_iterator end_itr; for ( fs::directory_iterator itr( full_path ); itr != end_itr; ++itr ) { std::cout << full_path.native_file_string() << std::endl; } } __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

help with regex library matching
by Andrew Dennison 13 Sep '04

13 Sep '04

I have having a problem determining if the regex library is working properly. I have run the regex regression tests, and all tests in the test.txt file pass. My problem however began with the following match: string: "orange and ba.ana and kiwi" expression: "\\.([a-z]+).*[ \t\n].*\\.([a-z]+)" expected result: match, captures 'range' and 'ana' real result: no match The code in question is this: bool result = false; std::string str = "orange and ba.ana and kiwi"; std::string exp(".([a-z]+).*[ \t\n].*\\.([a-z]+)"); try { boost::smatch what; boost::regex e(exp.c_str()); // use default format flags result = regex_match(str, what, e); if (result) { ... } } catch (std::runtime_error &e) { ... } ... It seems to consistently fail. This same example works in both Java and Perl, and with the PCRE C++ regex library. No exception is being caught either. I posted the actual code to show that i don't think i'm doing anything particularly unique - i call regex_match (though even regex_search fails to match). I even tried formatting a file for the regression test harness with this example, and it confirmed that this particular example does not succeed. Can someone please provide suggestions regarding: a) what is going wrong b) how to fix it It should be noted that i'm running linux, boost version 1.31.0, with the regex patch installed. Thanks.

regex and std::towlower
by Tim Clemons 11 Sep '04

11 Sep '04

I'm attempting to compile against the boost_regex headers on Solaris 2.8, using gcc and STLport. I'm encountering the following compile error: /boost/boost/regex/v4/regex_traits.hpp: In static member function `static boost::regex_wchar_type boost::c_regex_traits<boost::regex_wchar_type>::translate(boost::regex_wchar_type, bool)': /export/build/pixie/aegis-build/dev/liberty/common/cpp/utils/boost/boost/regex/v4/regex_traits.hpp:290: error: `towlower' is not a member of `_STL' Any ideas? This appears to be specific to Solaris, as the code base compiles alright on Linux. Appreciate the help. -- Tim.

LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-sgd.lib'
by Roy Varghese 11 Sep '04

11 Sep '04

Hi I am trying to build a test program that comes with the Genserial library (http://genserial.soureforge.net) which uses boost. I get the following error while linking: test fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-sgd.lib' This library seems to be included because of these lines in one of the cpp files: #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> using boost::unit_test_framework::test_suite; I verified that the file does exist in boost\lib however the naming is different, it has a version number suffix to it "libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-sgd-1_31.lib'" hence the problem with the linker. How do I go about resolving this, short of renaming all the lib files? Thanks Roy --><8---Profound quote snipped by email server--><8---.
