[Discuss-gnuradio] How to specify boost include path to configure?

[Justin Ford]

Hello gnuradio world!  I'm trying to get started and I'm getting hung up 
building and installing.  I'm following the build guide.

How do I point configure for gnuradio to the boost141 include directory?

I am building gnuradio-3.4.2 from the source tarball on RHEL 5.7 x86_64.  When 
I try to make I get errors indicating that the wrong boost headers are being 
used.  I have installed boost141 (v1.41 along with the development package) 
from EPEL as the boost version in RHEL is too old (v1.33.1).  Configure found 
the appropriate version based on my direction:

$ PYTHON="/usr/bin/python26"
SWIG="/usr/share/swig/2.0.4/bin/swig" ./configure
--with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib64/boost141

<snip>
configure:20483: checking for boost >= 1.35
configure:20545: g++ -c   -I/usr/include conftest.cpp >&5
configure:20545: $? = 0
configure:20546: result: yes
<snip>
BOOST_CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/include'
BOOST_CXXFLAGS='-pthread'
BOOST_DATE_TIME_LIB='-lboost_date_time-mt'
BOOST_FILESYSTEM_LIB='-lboost_filesystem-mt'
BOOST_LDFLAGS='-L/usr/lib64/boost141'
BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIB='-lboost_program_options-mt'
BOOST_SYSTEM_LIB='-lboost_system-mt'
BOOST_THREAD_LIB='-lboost_thread-mt'
<snip>

I think the BOOST_CPPFLAGS should be '-l/usr/include/boost141' because when I 
run make I get boost-related errors that point to the wrong include path:

$ make

The proper path to boost141 headers is /usr/include/boost141.  When I built UHD 
I had to point cmake to the includes as well as libraries:

$ cmake
-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python26 -DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/include/boost141
-DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/usr/lib64/boost141 ../

How can I specify the boost141 include directory using configure for gnuradio?
