Re: [Ltib] Adding libraries to host tool chain

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Mike,

Take a look at the thread here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/ltib/2009-01/threads.html

Boost is not selectable currently in LTIB as it's never been fully 
ported or tested.

I suspect that you would be better starting with a newer baseline.  It's 
quite possible you don't need the patch anymore (it looks like it was 
part of a Debian package).

Maybe the easiest way to try something out it to see if you can import 
it from here (is that version new enough?): 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/source/SRPMS/boost-1.34.1-13.fc9.src.rpm
using ./ltib -m addsrpms <path to srpm>
It probably will need some tinkering though.

Also, it's possible that someone else on the list may have this package 
building?

Regards, Stuart
