1.11.2 compile fail, libBoost issue

[Crow_T]

I get an error when using scons-

Code: Select all

 Checking for Boost iostreams library version >= 1.34.1... no

I currently have libboost-iostreams1.46.1 installed, Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. How can I get this to build?

I had the same problem. This version of libboost-ionsreams is obsolete and normally unavailable, but I was able to get all the hard-to-get dependencies using this command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get build-dep wesnoth

This command is a real salvation. Otherwise, it will ask you for tons of other things you will have difficulties to compile, requiring more dependencies that need compilation, and that might require even more dependencies... Once when I was trying to get through this, compiling one of them uninstalled a crucial system package without letting me know (the makefile was probably for other linux distro), and I needed to reinstall my OS.

Good luck compiling.

Thanks Dugi, that did it! oooohh pretty map.

This was actually pretty painless to do, if any people are intimidated by the process don't be.
