39 Report by Jens Seidel.
41 2007-12-03 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
43 Do not depend on Autoconf 2.61.
44 AS_TEST_X was introduced in 2.61. Alas, 2.60 is still common out
45 there, so let's use $as_executable_p instead.
47 * build-aux/boost.m4 (_BOOST_AC_LINK_IFELSE): Here.
48 Report by Jens Seidel.

65 * build-aux/boost.m4: Do not check for boost/filesystem.hpp as it
66 was introduced in 1.34. Check for boost/filesystem/path.hpp
68 Report by Staffan Gimåker.
70 2007-11-21 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
73 * build-aux/boost.m4: Fix a couple of typos.

100 The version check was completely wrong (!) and would always succeed.
101 * build-aux/boost.m4 (BOOST_REQUIRE): Properly compute the various
102 parts of the version (major, minor, sub-minor) from the
103 BOOST_VERSION macro defined in version.hpp.

109 * build-aux/boost.m4: Correct various tyops everywhere.
111 2007-11-20 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
113 Check that version.hpp exists before trying an include path.
114 * build-aux/boost.m4 (BOOST_REQUIRE): Here. This ensures that we
115 don't get the include path wrong *but* the test succeeds because
116 Boost is reachable thanks to the default include path of the
117 compiler. Bug reported by Staffan Gimåker.
119 2007-11-20 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
122 * build-aux/boost.m4: Sort the macros alphabetically (yes, `T' is

133 2007-11-20 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
135 Aggressively optimize the checks against Boost libraries.
136 Checking for Boost libraries that require linking was very slow
137 because it took several iteration to discover the proper link flags
138 to use to properly compile+link a C++ test file. The test file was
139 thus compiled over and over again until the right set of flag is
140 found. Compilation is time-consuming, especially with Boost, so the
141 trick is to compile the file once and then try to link it.
142 Unfortunately, Autoconf doesn't seem to allow this and always wants
143 to delete the intermediate object file. This file thus bypasses one
144 of the Autoconf internal macro to retain the object file.
145 On a test case which checks for 2 libraries, the configure time is
146 reduced by a factor of 5 on my laptop (~100s -> ~20s).
147 * build-aux/boost.m4 (BOOST_FIND_LIB): Compile the test file once
148 and then try to link it.
149 (_BOOST_AC_LINK_IFELSE): Fork of the Autoconf macro _AC_LINK_IFELSE.
150 Optimization suggested by David Herring.
152 2007-11-20 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
154 Optimize the detection of preference for MT flavors.
155 * build-aux/boost.m4 (BOOST_FIND_LIB): Move a compilation test...
156 (_BOOST_GUESS_WHETHER_TO_USE_MT): Here. So that the test is only
157 executed once per configure script.
159 2007-11-20 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
161 Fix the test of Boost.Graph.
162 * build-aux/boost.m4 (BOOST_GRAPH): Fix the C++ code used to test
165 2007-11-20 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
167 Do not pollute the user-reserved variables.
168 * build-aux/boost.m4 (BOOST_FIND_LIB): Fix a bug: when a library was
169 found, the LDFLAGS and LIBS weren't properly reset and the macro was
170 thus polluting user-reserved variables. This needs to be tested in
172 Also do not pass -R to the compiler during the tests, this flag is
173 only usable safely with libtool.
175 2007-11-17 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
177 Fix a typo in BOOST_THREADS.
178 * build-aux/boost.m4 (BOOST_THREADS): Properly set
179 `boost_threads_save_CPPFLAGS' to `CPPFLAGS' instead of `LIBS'!
180 Bug reported by David Herring.
182 2007-11-13 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>

194 argument in 2nd position (minor backward incompatible change) to
195 specify keywords for the tests.
196 Use keywords for all tests (core/lib/header with or without cross).
198 2007-11-12 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
200 Add tests for Boost.Program_options.
201 * README: Mention the new library.

207 Use Libtool and -R to encode run paths.
208 * README: Mention the dependencies more clearly near the beginning.
209 Add a step to use Libtool if it's not already used.
210 * build-aux/boost.m4 (BOOST_FIND_LIB): Add -R flags in the LDFLAGS
211 and fix a bug when --with-boost isn't used which leads to
212 $with_boost being empty which leads that /lib is checked first.
213 * configure.ac: Invoke AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.
214 * tests/testsuite.at (AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Import the content of
215 aclocal.m4 without the m4_include's in order to use AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
216 without getting the hassle of libtoolize.
217 (AT_CHECK_MACRO): Do not pass -W obsolete to autoconf to avoid
218 spurious warnings due to Libtool.
220 2007-11-02 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
222 Another fix for GCC3 and Boost.Thread.
223 * build-aux/boost.m4 (BOOST_THREADS): Put -pthread in
224 BOOST_CPPFLAGS (required for GCC3).
226 2007-11-02 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
228 Change the order of the tests.
229 * tests/testsuite.at: Do the tests that require linking first
230 (because they are more likely to fail).
232 2007-11-02 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
234 Add tests for SmartPtr, StringAlgo, Tribool and Tuple.
235 * README: Mention the new libraries.

254 * build-aux/boost.m4 (_BOOST_PTHREAD_FLAG): New internal helper.
255 (BOOST_THREADS): Use it. Use the pthread flag during the tests for
257 * tests/testsuite.at: Since the test for Boost.Thread is now more
258 costly, do the cross-compilation test with Boost.Filesystem instead.
260 2007-11-01 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>
262 Fix the testsuite to preserve the various arguments of configure.
263 * build-aux/boost.m4 (BOOST_REQUIRE): Define

268 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST, $(TESTSUITE)): Adjust.

272 * tests/package.m4.in: New.
273 * tests/testsuite.at: Invoke configure with the proper flags (that
