/usr/include/boost/thread/xtime.hpp:23:5: error: expected identifier before numeric constant.
This says it's fixed in 1.50

Something we should concider: Debian Wheezy (next stable version) only seems to have boost version 1.49: http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libboost-all-dev

[andrewshadura]

It doesn't matter as 1.49 isn't usable anyway.

[TheMarex]

As alacarte builds perfectly fine with boost 1.48 I'm really against merging this. If you can only exclude 1.49, maybe.

[andrewshadura]

It doesn't build here, with the same error message as in a bug report above. A side note: I'm using g++ 4.8, maybe it has more complete C++11 support, which may be the cause.

Updated: it's newer glibc, not g++.

[Scheirle]

I have no problems building with:
Boost: 1.49.0
g++: 4.7.2

[andrewshadura]

@Scheirle, your libc isn't recent enough.

@TheMarex: Well, an alternative solution would be to declare a complex dependency like (libc < 2.17 && boost >= 1.47) || (libc >= 2.17 && boost >= 1.50), but I'm not sure CMake is expressive enough to allow that. Could you please try doing so?

[TheMarex]

Should be fixed with commit ad98588
@andrewshadoura Could you please verify if this detects the issue?

[andrewshadura]

I think it probably should. If the syntax correct — which I presume is — it should work.
Thanks.
