Public bug reported:
I can't find any pkg-config files for Boost in $PKG_CONFIG_PATH. It
would be great if the package maintainers could provide some. If
maintainer time is a problem, I'm prepared to have a stab at making some
up myself (gulp).
I know this issue has been discussed now and then on the Boost mailing
list (since 2005?), but it seems to me the conclusion was basically
"it's up to the package maintainer".
I think this is a bug rather than a feature request, apologies if I'm
wrong. But it does make Boost tough to use in a crossplatform
environment.
Environment:
arichard...@vostro-1:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
arichard...@vostro-1:~$ apt-cache policy libboost1.40-dev
libboost1.40-dev:
Installed: 1.40.0-2ubuntu2
Candidate: 1.40.0-2ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1.40.0-2ubuntu2 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Expected behaviour:
arichard...@vostro-1:~/Projects/XMLInjector$ pkg-config --list-all 2>&1 | grep
boost
[list of options I can hand to gcc with `pkg-config --cflags --libs
boost-filesystem boost-regex boost-etc`]
arichard...@vostro-1:~/Projects/XMLInjector$
Actual behaviour:
arichard...@vostro-1:~/Projects/XMLInjector$ pkg-config --list-all 2>&1 | grep
boost
arichard...@vostro-1:~/Projects/XMLInjector$
Thanks for your time.
