This repository contains a conda recipe for automatically building the boost package including Python bindings and uploading it to our anaconda repository, menpo. This recipe provides builds for Win32, Win64, OSX64 and Linux64 (Ubuntu 12.04 and above).
The automated builds are provided by:
- Travis: Ubuntu 12.04 (x64)
- Appveyor: Windows Server 2012 R2 (x64), Also provides x86 builds
- Jenkins: OSX 10.10
If you are having issues with this boost build, please attempt to build the project yourself by installing conda and following the instructions below:
$ conda install conda-build
$ git clone https://github.com/menpo/conda-boost
$ cd conda-boost
$ conda config --add channels menpo
$ conda build conda/
$ conda install /PATH/TO/BOOST/PACKAGE.tar.gz
If you wish to edit any settings, please edit the build.sh or bld.bat files in order to enable (1) or disable (0) the required settings.
In the event that you install boost and recieve an error that is not listed below, please create an issue here on Github.
This error stems from the fact that we build on Ubuntu 12.04, which uses GLIBC 2.14. Older versions of Linux use older versions of GLIBC which are not compatible with future versions. If we were to build using an older linux box (or the Linux Standard Base), we could remedy this issue as GLIBC is guaranteed to be backwards compatible. However, the convenience of Travis far outweighs the complexity of this. Therefore, we are currently only able to support GLIBC 2.14 and above. If this is an issue, please rebuild the project manually as described above.
