Using external boost libraries < 1.34 fails to compile with 1.5.1, due to lack
of things like boost::filesystem::lookup_error and the location of
boost::filesystem::filesystem_error.

We do not plan to support boost < 1.34. We will try however to support
boost >=1.34 for the future.

I will try to come up with some tests for boost, but simpler than these probably.

Milestone: 1.5.x1.6.x

1.5.x is frozen. Shifting all 1.5.x-targetted bugs to 1.6.x.

If you have reported this bug, please verify if it still occurs in 1.6.0 and
close the report, if not.

As far as I can see, Lyx configure still has *no* checks for which boost version
is being used when an external boost is used to compile, and so this bug is
probably still there.

How hard is it to fix this?

comment:9 by Richard Heck, 10 years ago

Milestone: 2.0.x2.1.x

LyX 2.0.8 is released, so all 2.0.x bugs are being retargeted to 2.1.x. If this is your bug, please check whether the 2.1.x milestone makes sense and, if not, remove it.

Milestone: 2.1.x2.2.x

Moving all 2.1.x bugs to 2.2.x. Feel free to triage....

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX, since it clearly is not going to get fixed. We are moving towards eliminating the dependency on boost, anyway.
