Boost not taken from dedicated build on macOS

mfasel · September 16, 2019, 3:55pm

Dear experts,

with the latest version of cmake (v3.15) and boost (v1.71) from homebrew it seems that the dedicated build of boost is ignored and the system boost is taken. See example below. This raises a couple of problems, i.e. in DDS but also in FairRoot.

Any idea how this can be circumvented? Removing the boost version from homebrew is not a solution as it might be needed by other applications.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Markus

Example of the problem (from DDS):

Hi,
I can confirm this problem. I presume that we could force the boost version to 1.70 and it would avoid picking it up from the system.
To be discussed in WP3 tomorrow.
cheers,
Barth

We already force boost 1.70 at:

github.com

alisw/alidist/blob/master/boost.sh#L14


source: https://github.com/alisw/boost.git
requires:
  - "GCC-Toolchain:(?!osx)"
  - "Python-modules:(?!osx)"
  - libpng
  - lzma
build_requires:
  - "bz2"
prefer_system: (?!slc5)
prefer_system_check: |
  printf "#include \"boost/version.hpp\"\n# if (BOOST_VERSION < 107000 || BOOST_VERSION > 107099)\n#error \"Cannot use system's boost: boost 1.70 required.\"\n#endif\nint main(){}" | c++ -I$(brew --prefix boost)/include -xc++ - -o /dev/null
prepend_path:
  ROOT_INCLUDE_PATH: "$BOOST_ROOT/include"

#!/bin/bash -e


BOOST_PYTHON=
BOOST_CXXFLAGS=
if [[ $ARCHITECTURE != osx* && $PYTHON_MODULES_VERSION ]]; then
  # Enable boost_python on platforms other than macOS
  BOOST_PYTHON=1

so something is wrong with the check…
