I'm having a bit of trouble building SFCGAL / CGAL, and I wanted to ask a couple of questions about the toolchain used to build the code. Specifically, I was wondering about builds on EL-6.
File must begin with "/": GLPLv2 File must begin with "/": LICENSE
From my research, this happens because non-absolute paths were added in RPM 4.11. So, the 4.8 standard install causes problems.
2) For EL-6 builds, what version of boost-devel is installed (and how is it installed)?
It seems like Boost is a tricky thing on EL-6. The latest RPM that is available for installation is 1.41.0. However, without a later version, there's a compile error on CGAL 4.7:
/usr/include/CGAL/Kd_tree.h:34:37: fatal error: boost/container/deque.hpp: No such file or directory
From what I gather, deque.hpp has been relocated elsewhere in code for later versions of boost. And, while there is a boost148 package available, it unfortunately puts the Boost include files into /usr/include/boost148 instead of /usr/include/boost. Unless there's a way to notify the build of this differing path, the only workaround that I've found is to build a new version of boost (i.e. 1.53.0 from source). So I'm curious how the PGDG toolchain handles this case.
Any help on these questions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
