On MacOS, Compiling for iOS with llvm5.0 we have the same problem

Vladimir Prus — Mon, 20 Jan 2014 05:34:02 GMT

This is a result of too-eager merge into release branch for 1.55, this problem does not exist in current git. Even in 1.55, this is just a diagnostic, and does not break anything.

So, unless I somehow misunderstood the problem, I'm gonna close this issue as wontfix.

Fine, although it sounds like you're saying it's already fixed, as opposed to won't be fixed.

Run the bootstarper as administrator in your build cmd environment. and run bjam as admin

I am getting same error on Ubantu.

link.jam: No such file or directory

Hi,

it should not be an error, just a warning, and the build should continue after that. Is that the case?

Also, it's fixed in git.

Thanks for the quick reply...

But i am getting an error like this -

Manoj@firstouch-Vostro-1540:~/mosesDemo/boost_1_55_0$ ./bjam --with-boost=~/workspace/temp/boost_1_55_0 -j8 link.jam: No such file or directory error: wrong library name 'boost=~/workspace/temp/boost_1_55_0' in the --with-<library> option.

The error you get is due to the --with-boost option - which does not exist, it's unrelated to link.jam.

What are you trying to accomplish with that option? If you want to use a different build directory, use --build-dir.

Hi,

I am following just steps described in document given below -

like -

tar zxvf boost_1_55_0.tar.gz cd boost_1_55_0/ ./bootstrap.sh
./b2 -j8 --prefix=$PWD --libdir=$PWD/lib64 --layout=system link=static install

echo FAILURE

Once boost is installed, you can then compile Moses. However, you must tell Moses where boost is with the --with-boost flag. This is the exact commands I use to compile Moses:

./bjam --with-boost=~/workspace/temp/boost_1_55_0 -j8

Vladimir Prus — Fri, 05 Dec 2014 12:24:31 GMT

I am not familiar with what Moses is, but I believe the last command must be run from the source directory of Moses, and you appear to be running it from source of Boost C++ libraries. Could you go to source dir of Moses, and try this

    ~/workspace/temp/boost_1_55_0/b2 --with-boost=~/workspace/temp/boost_1_55_0 -j8

Thank you vladimir_prus. I got the same issue and have to exec bjam under the mosesdecoder folder, ex: cd /usr/local/src/mosesdecoder/ ./bjam --with-boost=/usr/local/src/boost_1_55_0 -j4
