The Wave driver was removed from the build system during the conversion from SVN to GIT. I have asked for help getting it back several times ever since but have not been able to get any help. I myself have no idea where to start fixing this, sorry.

Subject: [Boost-users] [Wave] Wave samples and driver utility not building?

 

I have just built boost_1_61_0; I am particularly interested in Boost.Wave at this time.

This is my first attempt to build any boost library, or boost in its entirety (all libs).

I read and followed the build instructions from the web site, with slight modifications for 

my environment / purposes:

 

bootstrap.sh 2>&1 | tee build_boost_log.txt

sudo ./b2 install 2>&1 | tee -a build_boost_log.txt

 

When it completes, I get the libboost_*.a and .so files in /usr/local/lib,

and the source is installed at /usr/local/include/boost, as expected.

I do get "...failed updating 58 targets..." in the build output, but my understanding

is that's OK - I didn't install optional items like ICU and such.

The problem is that I can't find the wave driver (or other sample) utility anywhere.

Moreover, when I look at the build log, there is no indication that any of these are

being built (even attempted).  So I'm wondering if there's a build step / option that

I am missing (and/or perhaps I need one of the "optional" 3rd party packages installed?).

 

BTW - I'm building in Ubuntu 14.04 ARM (crouton chroot on Chromebook), with

gcc/g++ 4.8.4.  I didn't see any indication of any environment problems in the build

log.
