Package: autoconf-archive Version: 20130609-2 Severity: important 1) Install libboost-date-time1.54-dev 1.54.0-4+b1 which is multiarch enabled; the library is in (e.g.) /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ not in /usr/lib/
2) cp /usr/share/aclocal/ax_boost_date_time.m4 aclocal.m4 3) Put in configure.ac AX_BOOST_DATE_TIME 4) autoconf && ./configure Result: checking whether the Boost::Date_Time library is available... yes configure: error: Could not find a version of the library! Expected result: success That's because AX_BOOST_DATE_TIME looks for libboost_date_time*.so in /usr/lib instead of in /usr/lib/$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH) How to achieve that in a cross-distro manner is another question entirely :) -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (400, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_LU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_LU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages autoconf-archive depends on: ii dpkg 1.17.5 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-10 Versions of packages autoconf-archive recommends: ii autoconf 2.69-1 autoconf-archive suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
