Peter, Looks like I'm going to do a clean install of thelatest Mint Cinnamon. No upgrades are available for 20.1. If I use timeshift to backup my system will it put the 20.1 back on the system? I only want to backup/restore the software on the pc. I thinnk the Mint software update saves a list of the installed app not the app its self. How woild you recomend I proceede?

I install Boost 1.9 on my Mint 20.1 system.
20.1 seems a bit old (and unsupported.)
I folowed al the steps shown on the Boost web page. It appeared to install without errors. I also enter the three environment varibles per the instructions. Now when I try to install a program that needs Boost >1.83 it defaults to Boost 1.7. Why does the program (wsjt-x Ver 3.0) not see Boost 1.9? What can I do to make Boost 1.9 avalable to fill this dependecy?
Well, first off, how are you trying to install wsjt-x? Second off... you have a system installation of Boost (presumably 1.71), which is a package installed via apt-get, in the system include directory. Trying to use another Boost version would be possible, but fragile, because it's very easy to end up with parts of one and parts of the other, which would cause interesting errors and malfunctions. Your best bet is to upgrade to a later Mint, which would have a newer Boost. Mint 21 is based on Ubuntu 22.04, which has Boost 1.74, but Mint 22 is based on Ubuntu 24.04 and would have Boost 1.83. _______________________________________________ Boost mailing list -- boost@lists.boost.org To unsubscribe send an email to boost-leave@lists.boost.org https://lists.boost.org/mailman3/lists/boost.lists.boost.org/ Archived at: https://lists.boost.org/archives/list/boost@lists.boost.org/message/XFRPAAGM... _______________________________________________ Boost mailing list -- boost@lists.boost.org To unsubscribe send an email to boost-leave@lists.boost.org https://lists.boost.org/mailman3/lists/boost.lists.boost.org/ Archived at: https://lists.boost.org/archives/list/boost@lists.boost.org/message/AWFZJJ2S...
