configure error: boost headers

[AngelGM]

Hi all,

I've downloaded codeblocks-13.12 source (working in linux Debian). After the ./bootstrap (successful) I run ./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all with this output (last part):

Code

 ...
checking for GAMIN... yes
checking for FONTCONFIG... yes
checking boost/spirit/include/classic.hpp usability... no
checking boost/spirit/include/classic.hpp presence... no
checking for boost/spirit/include/classic.hpp... no
configure: error: needed boost headers not found or not usable

I do not know what to do now. I've built boost (I guess not in the correct location) but that does not work. If you need something please ask.

Help!

Install the boost headers or do NOT build the plugin that needs it are the two obvious options.

To install boost headers please find a OS support site.

You might also look here for info; no idea if that will help you. http://apt.jenslody.de/

At least in Wheezy you don't need to compile Boost, it's enough installing package libboost-dev. Then, your missing file should be under /usr/include

Boost is only needed by the Nassi-Shneiderman plaugin as far as I remember. So disabling it would help also.
Run the configure-script with --help parameter to see how it is done.

Thanks!

Indeed, that is the only plugin that makes use of boost so if I finally cannot link it, I will just compile c::b without it.

Cheers,

There's nothing to link, you just need the headers (libboost-dev as posted before).

[AngelGM]

I already have libboost-dev. And I also have built it from source (successfully, as I use it). But c::b cannot find the headers.... This sounds like a problem of the configuration of my machine rather than a general issue.

Thanks,
A
