How to compile boost with non-standard clang installations.
I am trying to build boost using clang. I know there are many sources of advice for doing this, but I can't seem to find a description of my exact system, and my attempts to adapt them have not been notably successful. Here are my configuration constraints: 1.) Clang is not the system compiler. It is compiled in installed in separately, with prefix $a/clang. So, $a/clang/bin/clang++ is the C++ compiler, and so forth. I am using the tip of the llvm/clang tree. 2.) I want to use libc++, which is installed in $a/clang/lib/libc++.so. I also want to use the libc++ abi, which is installed in $a/clang/lib/libcxxabi.so. 3.) The libc++ standard library include files are installed in $a/include/c++/v1. For most programs I compile with the options -nostdinc++ -isystem $a/clang/include/c++/v1 -std=c++11 and link with -stdlib=libc++ -L$a/clang/lib -lcxxabi This seems to work pretty well for most circumstances. However, I can't figure out how to translate this to boost 1.55.0. I tried: ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=clang --prefix=$a/clang ./b2 toolset=clang \ cxxflags="-std=c++11 -nostdinc++ -isystem $a/clang/include/c++/v1 -stdlib=libc++" \ linkflags="-stdlib=c++ -L$a/clang/lib" \ --prefix=$a/clang -j10 define=BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED stage release However, the compilations failed. They all seemed to fail compiling type_traits. A typical failure is: clang-linux.compile.c++.without-pth bin.v2/libs/regex/build/clang-linux-3.0/release/threading-multi/icu.o In file included from libs/regex/build/../src/icu.cpp:20: In file included from ./boost/regex/config.hpp:43: In file included from ./boost/config.hpp:40: In file included from ./boost/config/select_stdlib_config.hpp:37: In file included from ./boost/config/no_tr1/utility.hpp:21: In file included from /local/billw/arch/glnxa64/clang/include/c++/v1/utility:157: In file included from /local/billw/arch/glnxa64/clang/include/c++/v1/__tuple:16: /local/billw/arch/glnxa64/clang/include/c++/v1/type_traits:3308:31: error: expected expression static const bool value = decltype(__test<_Tp>(nullptr))::value; ^ 1 error generated.

Please ignore my message. I think figured it out. The problem went away when I didn't specify -std=c++11. Sorry for the spam. On Mon, Feb 10, 2014 at 6:29 PM, Bill White <bill.white@griggsinst.com> wrote:
