boost linking error

[valakas46]

hi

ive gone though all the directions 3-5 times

when i get to the spot where i cd gcc and then make

it fails here is my error

==== Building network ====

precompiled.cpp

In file included from ../../../source/lib/precompiled.h:95,

from ../../../source/pch/network/precompiled.h:18,

from ../../../source/pch/network/precompiled.cpp:18:

../../../source/lib/external_libraries/boost_filesystem.h:30:32: error: boost/filesystem.hpp: No such file or directory

ive tried from a clean svn twice now and no luck. after it did this the first time i traced down all the places where it wasnt finding

the needed file and added the full path /home/user/0ad/truck/ etc/ etc

that got me to almost the end of the compile i believe but then though other errors

i assume there is a way to point the code to a start path?

any ideas? thx

Sounds like you need to install Boost onto your system, e.g. with "apt-get install libboost-dev" or something similar depending on what Linux distribution you use. If you don't have a /usr/include/boost, then that's probably the problem.

(It's also possible that Boost is just installed into a strange location. If you've already got it installed and still have problems, what Linux distro/version are you using?)

im using ubuntu 8.04.2

and i have boost in usr/include/boost

i just tried an apt-get of boost-dev and it says i have the newest up to date version

ok that got me thinking

i needed libboost-filesystem-dev

i apt-get install ed it and its working

May i recommed that libboost-filesystem-dev be added to the giant list of things to install at the start?

also should i get a few unsigned integer errors?

Thx for the help

Added that to the wiki now - thanks!

also should i get a few unsigned integer errors?

There were a few known problems with that on 64-bit systems - I've tried to fix them now, so hopefully you shouldn't get any of those warnings if you update and recompile.
