Linking error in boost

[ed@…]

(Had to use 1.4.0cvs as version as 1.3.5 is not in version list yet.)

The URL provided is a downstream bug.

Applying a change in the boost.sourceforge.net CVS tree allows the build to proceed:

Revision 1.11 - (view) (download) (annotate) - [select for diffs]
Wed Aug 27 03:24:41 2003 UTC (13 months, 2 weeks ago) by samuel_k
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.10: +1 -2 lines
Diff to previous 1.10

got rid of useless empty string auxiliary objects,

among which a static one was causing problems on some platform.

The diff is at
​http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost/boost/boost/format/feed_args.hpp?r1=1.10&r2=1.11&diff_format=u
but needs massaging to apply to the code in lyx; the patch I have submitted
downstream is at ​http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=41571

Patch working for lyx1.3.5, gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.2-r2,
ssp-3.4.1-1, pie-8.7.6.5), thanks Ed

It has been confirmed that this patch also helps solaris8+gcc3.4.

Should be fixed now. Thanks a lot ed for reporting both the bug and the fix :)

For information, this error also happens with solaris 8 + gcc 3.4, as indicated
in the following thread:
