build system: boost not detected due to linemarkers in GCC
The autoconf-based build system fails on modern platforms, because the macro m4/boost.m4
included to detect the Boost library version cannot cope with linemarkers as they come from g++ preprocessor. It suffices to run CXXCPP (or $ac_cpp
in the macro) with the -P
option.
Again, I see no way to fork or start pull requests here. How do we proceed?
