This page describes non-trivial stuff on porting boost libraries to FreeBSD. By intent this page should contain current status of Boost ports, a list of decisions, rationales and other things like that.
Current State
- The port is out of sync with boost.org: upstream has 1.42, ports have 1.41
- Boost-1.42 is tested in full on 7.2, ready for 6.x and 8.x.
The most recent patch is at http://alexanderchuranov.com/boost-port/boost-from-1.41-to-1.42-2010-02-16-17-11.diff
Known Issues
- Boost.Test report less details for SIGBUS, SIGCHLD, SIGSEGV and SIGILL on FreeBSD than it might on other UNIX-like platform. The reason is detailed information is not available on FreeBSD 6x. The issue is temporary.
- Boost.Math does not support long double version of functions, because related functionality only presents in FreeBSD-8.
Future Efforts
- Test on 8.x and 6.x
Past Efforts
A patch for updating from 1.41 to 1.42 is created.
Ports successfully built with 1.42 on 7.2
