libtorrent-rasterbar won't compile against new default boost variants

[timbargen@…]

libtorrent-rasterbar (16.2) won't pass the configure script when building against the new default boost (1.50) variants "+no_single" "+no_static" seen here: changeset:95845/trunk/dports/devel/boost/Portfile

you can force it to get past the configure script by adding

                --with-boost-python=mt

to configure.args in the portfile, but then it fails to build.

rebuilding boost with "-no_single -no_static" allows libtorrent-rasterbar to be built with no problems.

To be honest, I really don't know which one of the new default variants is the culprit; I didn't really feel like rebuilding boost 2 or 3 times just to test. I suspect its the +no_single variant though just because I had to tell libtorrent-rasterbar to look for the mt (multi-threaded) version of the library for it to even try to compile when I was using the new default variants for boost.

Whichever it is, either -no_single/-no_static needs to be made a dependency for libtorrent-rasterbar, or +no_single/+no_static needs to be removed from the default variants for boost.

I'm on 10.7.4 with a Core2 Duo for what it's worth.

boost maintainer here. On a mac there are no huge changes between multithreaded and non-mt builds; all re-arrangement happens due to the code. (In other words, the ABI is always implicitly multithreaded and there is no code-generation that changes. The code may conditionally compile into something else, but this isn't like MSVC or GCC on Linux!)

I can add the mt and static builds back to boost, but excessive compile-times are an often-reported bug.

It appears to me that libtorrent-rasterbar is actually at fault here because it is assuming that boost libraries have a particular name. In fact, they don't. The -mt suffix is optional during build. Also, the python variant is not installed by default (and never has been!) and, last I checked, there is no way to make a port depend on a specific variant.

My suggestion would be for the libtorrent-rasterbar Portfile to test specifically for the boost-python-mt library that it needs via depends_lib lib:boost_python-mt or whatever, but modified such that an error is printed such that it tells the user to rebuild boost with the appropriate python and single-threaded variants.

[timbargen@…]

I didn't specify at first that I was building the python variants of these ports, but after some testing I've found it doesn't affect the problem. So I did some extra testing, built boost a couple different ways. It is in fact the +no_single variant of boost that causes problems for libtorrent-rasterbar, regardless of whether you are building it with any of the python variants. Building boost with the -no_single flag will result in libtorrent-rasterbar successfully compiling and running.

I also found you can make it build successfully with the boost +no_single variant activated if you edit the libtorrent-rasterbar portfile's configure.args similarly to what I showed in the original ticket, just adding a similar line for each boost library libtorrent-rasterbar needs. (I didn't actually bother to find which ones it needed, I just put them all in.) What you would add would look something like this:

		--with-boost-chrono=mt \
		--with-boost-date_time=mt \
		--with-boost-filesystem=mt \
		--with-boost-graph=mt \
		--with-boost-iostreams=mt \
		--with-boost-locale=mt \
		--with-boost-math_c99=mt \
		--with-boost-math_c99f=mt \
		--with-boost-math_c99l=mt \
		--with-boost-math_tr1=mt \
		--with-boost-math_tr1f=mt \
		--with-boost-math_tr1l=mt \
		--with-boost-prg_exec_monitor=mt \
		--with-boost-program_options=mt \
		--with-boost-python=mt \
		--with-boost-random=mt \
		--with-boost-regex=mt \
		--with-boost-serialization=mt \
		--with-boost-signals=mt \
		--with-boost-system=mt \
		--with-boost-thread=mt \
		--with-boost-timer=mt \
		--with-boost-unit_test_framework=mt \
		--with-boost-wave=mt \
		--with-boost-wserialization=mt \

This will allow libtorrent-rasterbar to be built successfully without having to build boost with the single threaded libraries enabled.
I haven't actually tried using this version of the library though, as this last part was done on a different machine

Fix committed in r97400. Port now updated to version 0.16.3.
