Instructions: how to compile with Boost 1.46

[Panther]

Sorry, I am too lazy to make official patches right now but as I just updated from boost 1.42 to boost 1.46 I though I'd share a quick fix how to get Gizmod to compile again.

libGizmod/Processes.cpp:

157c157
<       string StatPath = iter->path().string() + "/stat";
---
>       string StatPath = iter->string() + "/stat";

gizmod/Main.cpp:

55a56,57
>   // set filesystem to native filesystem checking
>   path::default_name_check(native);

gizmod/GizmoDaemon.cpp:

1109c1109
<           ret += "sys.path.insert(0, \"" + iter->path().string() + "\")\n";
---
>           ret += "sys.path.insert(0, \"" + iter->string() + "\")\n";
1567c1567
<           UserScripts.push_back(iter->path().filename().string());
---
>           UserScripts.push_back(iter->path().leaf());
2192c2192
<           if (iter->path().filename().string().find("event") != 0)
---
>           if (iter->path().leaf().find("event") != 0)
2194c2194
<           eventsFiles.push_back(mEventsDir + "/" + iter->path().filename().string());
---
>           eventsFiles.push_back(mEventsDir + "/" + iter->path().leaf());

I hope these help someone!

Thanks for this.

gizmod has been removed from the Ubuntu package repositories starting with 11.10 because it no longer compiles with the latest Boost libraries, so I had to figure out how to build it myself.

I found that in addition to the above changes, I also needed to modify the 3 makefiles generated by cmake to add -lboost_system to the library lists passed to the linker.

I haven't tested my build yet, but it built without errors so it should be okay.

Update: After running 'sudo make install', I also had to run 'sudo ldconfig' in order for gizmod to be able to find its .so libraries. It's now working fine for me under Xubuntu 11.10 x64.

I also tried to compile Gizmod with boost 1.46 (Xubuntu 12.04 beta x64). I made the above code changes, and I also added the line #include <stdlib.h> in some files to get rid of the compile errors concerning "size_t". Of course, I had the same linker problem as benshadwick. Because I did not find the appropriate positions in the 3 makefiles where I could add -lboost_system, I finally added this linker option to the file link.txt in subdirectory gizmod/CMakeFiles/gizmod.dir.

Now Gizmod is running under Precise Pangolin. And in contrast to benshadwick, I did not need to run "sudo ldconfig".
