Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #8078: Boost 1.53 fails to build on Slackware 14.0 with gcc 4.7.1

anonymous — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 15:15:08 GMT

Just checked and exactly the same error appears on Slackware 13.37 with GCC 4.5.2

If I manually run the g++ line - but with clang+, the issue does not appear.

Same here on gentoo

The code in question is illegal in C++03, but valid in C++11.

Building with

bjam --toolset=gcc cflags="-std=gnu++11" library_status

seems to fix the problem on Arch Linux (gcc version 4.7.2).

Note that you don't actually need this to build Boost. It's just a convenience tools that some of us use.

Thank you very much! I've created a patch against 1.53.0 from this change set and thus I was able to create the package for Slackware 14.0 (gcc version 4.7.1) successfully.
