#2597: Boost fails to build when long doubles not supported
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: smr_at_[hidden] | Owner: johnmaddock
Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: Boost 1.38.0 | Component: math
Version: Boost 1.37.0 | Severity: Problem
Keywords: |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Boost.Math builds a test file to check whether long double math is
supported. If it is not, the build fails with an error which is
misleading because it is not an error but, rather, a successful build of
all parts except the long double version of boost_math_c99 and
boost_math_tr1.
This issue causes the builds to fail for Debian; c.f.
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=boost1.37&ver=1.37.0-2&arch=mips&stamp=1229469355&file=log
Because of this, I have to patch Debian to disable building these
libraries for certain platforms. The attached patch enables this by
adding a --disable-long-double flag to the build process.
There must be a way to do this automatically (?).
