Unable to compile against staged boost

graph-tool
1

I am trying to compile graph-tool 2.22. I'm running Python 3.6.2 with
pyenv, and have a staged boost 1.6.64 (linked against my pyenv 3.6.2
install). I do not wish to install boost globally, as it may cause
conflicts with my system Python (3.5.x).

I am running the following commands:

./autogen.sh
./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/home/joe/Research/graphbooze/libs/boost_1_64_0/"
LDFLAGS="-L/home/joe/Research/graphbooze/libs/boost_1_64_0/stage/lib
-Wl,-rpath=/home/joe/Research/graphbooze/libs/boost_1_64_0/stage/lib"

but am faced with the error "configure: error: Could not link against
boost_regex ". I am using the configure flags taken from the graph-tool
wiki, and am hoping that my include path folder is correct? Boost's lib
directory includes multiple libboost_* files, and I have linked
'libboost_python3' to 'boost_python3' as it was previously causing errors.
I'm not sure if that could be related to this problem too, but linking
libboost_regex to boost_regex didn't solve the problem.

I have attached config.log. I am not entirely sure if this is a boost issue
or a graph-tool issue -- the boost compile went through without issue. Any
help or direction (even if it's just confirming that it's a boost issue
rather than graph-tool) would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

Could you please try with the git version as well, and also provide the full
output of the configure script?

Boost's lib
directory includes multiple libboost_* files, and I have linked
'libboost_python3' to 'boost_python3' as it was previously causing errors.
I'm not sure if that could be related to this problem too, but linking

This does not make much sense, as the "lib" prefix is standard and expected.
Furthermore, if you have to do things like this by hand, then there is
something wrong with your installation.
