ax_boost

Obsolete Macro

Use AX_BOOST_BASE in combination with library-specific macros.

Synopsis

AX_BOOST([MINIMUM-VERSION], [ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND])

Description

Test for the Boost C++ libraries of a particular version (or newer)

If no path to the installed boost library is given the macro searchs under /usr, /usr/local, and /opt, and evaluates the $BOOST_ROOT environment variable. Further documentation is available at <http://randspringer.de/boost/index.html>.

This macro calls:

  AC_SUBST(BOOST_CPPFLAGS) / AC_SUBST(BOOST_LDFLAGS)
  AC_SUBST(BOOST_FILESYSTEM_LIB)
  AC_SUBST(BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIB)
  AC_SUBST(BOOST_THREAD_LIB)
  AC_SUBST(BOOST_IOSTREAMS_LIB)
  AC_SUBST(BOOST_SERIALIZATION_LIB)
  AC_SUBST(BOOST_WSERIALIZATION_LIB)
  AC_SUBST(BOOST_SIGNALS_LIB)
  AC_SUBST(BOOST_DATE_TIME_LIB)
  AC_SUBST(BOOST_REGEX_LIB)
  AC_SUBST(BOOST_UNIT_TEST_FRAMEWORK_LIB)

And sets:

  HAVE_BOOST
  HAVE_BOOST_FILESYSTEM
  HAVE_BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS
  HAVE_BOOST_THREAD
  HAVE_BOOST_IOSTREAMS
  HAVE_BOOST_SERIALIZATION
  HAVE_BOOST_SIGNALS
  HAVE_BOOST_DATE_TIME
  HAVE_BOOST_REGEX
  HAVE_BOOST_UNIT_TEST_FRAMEWORK
