Thank you Sebastian for your help. I should have added more detailed
information in my first email.
What happened was that if I did this: ./bootstrap.sh
--with-libraries=thread,regex,system
I got this error during MIRA configure script:
checking whether the Boost::Filesystem library is available... yes
configure: error: Could not link against boost_system !
But if I did this:./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=thread,regex, system,
filesystem
Then I got the following:
checking whether the Boost::System library is available... yes
checking for exit in -lboost_system... Yes
checking whether the Boost::Filesystem library is available... yes
checking for exit in -lboost_filesystem... Yes
checking whether the Boost::IOStreams library is available... yes
configure: error: Could not link against boost_filesystem !
I could be wrong but it looks like that MIRA had no problem locating the
boost_system if I added filesystem, and then something else became the
problem (in this case the Boost::IOStreams library). It seems like that I
need to keep adding more and moreŠthat's why I stopped and thought that
there must be a more concise way of doing it. Or to make it simply should
I install the complete boost library on my computer first? Any help on
this?
Thanks
Aus
