Description Barry Jackson 2013-01-23 12:38:50 CET

Description of problem:
As summary.

I have queried this issue upstream and it seems that the gnuradio developers blacklisted boost-1.52. This is not apparent during build.
It builds fine with tests disabled, which I have had to do for some time due to one test (of 180) causing build failures on the BS.
It now fails 143 of the 180 tests.

I set up a system locally using boost-1.53beta1 and re-built the one dep that uses boost (uhd) and gnuradio itself.
This build only fails on 3 tests.

I have sent the logs to gnuradio ML and pointed out that updating boost to a beta for Mga3 is not an option (??) and am awaiting comment.

We may have to drop gnuradio if this cannot be resolved upstream.

It does seem that boost-1.52 has problems.

Comment 1 Barry Jackson 2013-01-24 13:44:24 CET

I have had confirmation from upstream that gnuradio cannot be built with boost-1.52.
#------------------------------------------

Barry,

I'm afraid we can't use Boost 1.52 with GNU Radio. See:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7669

The thread join_all is very important for clean operation of a flowgraph. There's a similar bug in 1.47 that we can't use, either. In fact, you shouldn't have been able to compile against 1.52 since we've explicitly disabled it in GrBoost.cmake.

Is there an option of going back to 1.51?

Tom
#-----------------------------------------

They seem happy that with patching it should be OK with boost-1.53.

Currently 1.53beta1 is available, however whether moving to this would break other packages I don't know.

Severity: normal => critical

Comment 2 Barry Jackson 2013-03-13 21:22:27 CET

boost 1.53 is now released, which fixes gnuradio.
However after a lot of test re-builds there are several packages that a change to boost-1.53 causes not to build:-

libyui
Failed: error: no type named âunspecified_bool_typeâ in âclass boost::scoped_ptr<YWidgetPrivate>â
http://mtf.no-ip.co.uk/pub/linux/barjac/boost/log.libyui

mapnik

http://mtf.no-ip.co.uk/pub/linux/barjac/boost/log.mapnik

vegastrike

vigra

http://mtf.no-ip.co.uk/pub/linux/barjac/boost/log.vigra

spring also fails to build but I don't think it's boost related.

Now only failures are:
libyui
vegastrike

About vegastrike, this patch could fix the issue you mentioned:
