#26268 closed enhancement (fixed)
boost-1.44.0 Should use ccache/distcc
| Reported by: | grddev@… | Owned by: | adfernandes (Andrew Fernandes) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority: | Normal | Milestone: | |
| Component: | ports | Version: | 1.9.1 |
| Keywords: | Cc: | ||
| Port: | boost |
Description
portconfigure.tcl sets CXX to ${filter}${configure.cxx}, where ${filter} specifies a command prefix for ccache/distcc. In the boost port, which doesn't use the standard configure, only ${configure.cxx} is used as the compiler (${filter} doesn't seem to be accessible outside portconfigure.tcl), and thus ccache/distcc is not used.

Replying to adfernandes@…:
Are you willing/able to contribute a tested patch?
The attached patch introduces distcc/ccache into the mix. The boost package successfully compiled and installed, and I have not noticed any resulting breakage. But I can't say that I have done any rigorous testing.

Great work - thanks very much!
Committed in r72284.
(I didn't revbump because if you already have boost, this won't gain you anything.)
I couldn't agree with you more!
However, dealing with
boost's jamfiles is a horrible experience. I've spent hours debugging them and making things build correctly on the Mac, and don't want to try to addccacheordistccto the mix; testing takes too long for my limited resources!Are you willing/able to contribute a tested patch?
