Compiler can't find boost library

[computergee]

I'm having trouble compiling this game, but It gives me the following error:

Checking for C++ header file boost/cstdint.hpp... no
Boost library must be installed

I have the boost and boost-devel packages installed, but I'm still getting this error. Anyone know how I can get this thing to compile?

get this lot
build-essential libsdl-dev libopenal-dev libglew-dev libboost-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-regex-dev libdevil-dev libfreetype6-dev python2.4-dev scons subversion zip

build essential is debian/ubuntu only.

Also check config.log (in the directory where SConstruct is), it may give a clue on the actual reason for the error. (could be something different then not finding the header file)

Thanks for the replies. I'm on PCLinuxOS 2007, which is a test release, it's hard to find all those packages (the repositories don't have much). But I do have the boost libraries installed. Here is what is left in the config.log file.

Code: Select all

Which version of gcc is that?

It looks quite old (or a weird architecture?), if it doesn't support those commandline arguments.

Looking through synaptic, I have both 4.1.1 and 3.3 installed. What version should I have?

EDIT: I figured it out. I had to install a package named "gcc-c++", I had "gcc3.3-c++" installed, but I now I see thats for the old gcc. This packaged gave C++ support to my gcc 4.1, and allowed me to configure. Thanks for the help .

installing build-essential should give you exactly the C/C++ which you need.. no need to mess with individual compiler packages then...
