 Reporter:  Steven Robbins <smr_at_[hidden]>  |        Type:  Bugs        
   Status:  new                              |   Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0
Component:  None                             |     Version:  Boost 1.36.0
 Severity:  Problem                          |    Keywords:              
---------------------------------------------+------------------------------
 Boost fails to build on systems that do not define PATH_MAX, e.g. Hurd, as
 it is used unconditionally in pwd.c.

 A Debian user report: http://bugs.debian.org/487343

 and submitted a patch suitable for a system with GNU libc.

 The patch applied to Debian builds of Boost is attached.
