Re: [Boost-users] boost 1.63 fails to build with zlib and bzip2 in different directories

5 Jan 2017


      Sorry, silly copy and paste error, the working jam file is obviously

$ cat Jamfile.v2
project /boost/iostreams : source-location ../src ;

local sources = file_descriptor.cpp mapped_file.cpp zlib.cpp gzip.cpp
bzip2.cpp ;

lib zlib
    :
    : <name>z <include>/home/fwyzard/src/boost/common/include
<search>/home/fwyzard/src/boost/common/lib
    ;

lib bzip2
    :
    : <name>bz2 <include>/home/fwyzard/src/boost/common/include
<search>/home/fwyzard/src/boost/common/lib
    ;

lib boost_iostreams
    : $(sources)
    : <link>shared:<define>BOOST_IOSTREAMS_DYN_LINK=1
      <define>BOOST_IOSTREAMS_USE_DEPRECATED
      <library>zlib
      <library>bzip2
    :
    : <link>shared:<define>BOOST_IOSTREAMS_DYN_LINK=1
    ;

boost-install boost_iostreams : bzip2-requirements ;


Thank you,

Try removing the -sBZIP2... and -sZLIB... lines and adding to your
userconfig.jam:
using bzip2 : 1.0.6 : <include>full-path-to/bzip2-1.0.6
<search>full-path-to/bzip2-1.0.6 ;
using zlib : 1.2.10 : <include>full-path-to/zlib-1.2.10
<search>full-path-to/zlib-1.2.10 ;

That will have the same problem.  The bug
is at a pretty low level.  It will trigger
regardless of how you specify the paths.
Hi Edward, Steven,
indeed, replacing the -SBZIP2... and -sZLIB... lines with the suggested
entries in user-config.jam gives me the same problem.
In the meantime I've followed the problem down to
libs/iostreams/build/Jamfile.v2 - here is a simplified version of it that
causes the same error:
$ cat ~/user-config.jam
# local installation of bzip2
using bzip2 : 1.0.6 : <include>/home/fwyzard/src/boost/bzip2-1.0.6
<search>/home/fwyzard/src/boost/bzip2-1.0.6 ;
# local installation of zlib
using zlib : 1.2.10 : <include>/home/fwyzard/src/boost/zlib-1.2.10
<search>/home/fwyzard/src/boost/zlib-1.2.10 ;
$ cat Jamfile.v2
project /boost/iostreams : source-location ../src ;
local sources = file_descriptor.cpp mapped_file.cpp zlib.cpp gzip.cpp
bzip2.cpp ;
lib boost_iostreams
    : $(sources)
    : <link>shared:<define>BOOST_IOSTREAMS_DYN_LINK=1
      <define>BOOST_IOSTREAMS_USE_DEPRECATED
      <library>/zlib//zlib
      <library>/bzip2//bzip2
    :
    : <link>shared:<define>BOOST_IOSTREAMS_DYN_LINK=1
    ;
boost-install boost_iostreams : bzip2-requirements ;
However, if I replace the library definitions with my own, it does work:
$ cat Jamfile.v2
project /boost/iostreams : source-location ../src ;
local sources = file_descriptor.cpp mapped_file.cpp zlib.cpp gzip.cpp
bzip2.cpp ;
lib zlib
    :
    : <name>z <include>/home/fwyzard/src/boost/common/include
<search>/home/fwyzard/src/boost/common/lib
    ;
lib bzip2
    :
    : <name>bz2 <include>/home/fwyzard/src/boost/common/include
<search>/home/fwyzard/src/boost/common/lib
    ;
lib boost_iostreams
    : $(sources)
    : <link>shared:<define>BOOST_IOSTREAMS_DYN_LINK=1
      <define>BOOST_IOSTREAMS_USE_DEPRECATED
      <library>/zlib//zlib
      <library>/bzip2//bzip2
    :
    : <link>shared:<define>BOOST_IOSTREAMS_DYN_LINK=1
    ;
boost-install boost_iostreams : bzip2-requirements ;
So it seems to be a problem with the way tools/build/src/tools/bzip2.jam
, tools/build/src/tools/zlib.jam , etc. are implemented ?
Is there a way to see what
      <library>/zlib//zlib
      <library>/bzip2//bzip2
expand to ?
Thank you,
.Andrea
